I decided to take 3 stones from the sacred path as a souvenir and to remind me that no matter where you are in life, you are brought to certain places, at certain times, for certain reasons. I felt like I had lived in the place and had past memories of the early Roman society. \u00a0We also visited the Coliseum and immersed ourselves in current Roman culture as we walked the streets of Rome on free time, and enjoyed wonderful local food. After dinner the crew went out for dessert and we created a bond that will last longer than our study abroad trip &#x2764;<\/p>\n<p>I am very excited to see the Pantheon tomorrow and know it will bring me great pleasure like I have had today.
