\"DSC00290\"<\/a>Class was interesting. The University was a long hike to get to. I didn\u2019t mind because it is perfect outside. No humidity and a slight breeze. It feels like 70 degrees outside. We had a great discussion on religion and opinions about religion. I had a great time and afterward, we headed to the cafeteria for lunch. It was incredibly beautiful for a college caf\u00e9. Sleek bar chairs, cute little tables, and a glass wall with a great view of the university. For lunch, I had a spinach salad with a bit of corn and tomatoes sprinkled on the top, some potatoes. I can’t describe the taste because I have never tasted it before. Also, I had two slices of pork. It was very moist and flavorful. I never knew meat had so many flavors! It makes my mouth water just thinking about it.\u00a0 Back at the hotel, we opened the window because we have a perfect view of the city. I want to live in a place like this. It is perfect for me! There are tiny cars and Vespa\u2019s everywhere. There\u2019s a cafe or market every other building. I love eating outside as well. It is funny how the restaurants are practically on the sidewalk, but I love it. It is actually possible to eat healthy and still taste delicious flavors. At home, healthy food lacks flavor. Here, it seriously tastes like dessert for every meal. The architecture of the city is so charming. Oh yes! And I don\u2019t mind having a roommate at all; wouldn\u2019t mind having one when I grow up. It\u2019s not bad in the least.<\/p>\n

For dinner, I had Zuppa di Verdure (Vegetable Soup). I had no idea vegetables could be so tasty. Also, the night life in Rome is beautiful! I feel safe being outside at night . Everything is lit up. People love to take evening strolls after dinner. Couples were just walking together, arm in arm, talking, enjoying the music.<\/p>\n

I think it is practically impossible to be overweight in Europe. The portions are smaller, the food is all healthy, and it\u2019s just too expensive to overeat anyway. I tried “haggling” for the first time this evening. I felt bad the first time, but then I got used to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
