Day 2!

Day 2 was amazing! There were only 4 of us here so far so we decided to take the Metro into town and walk around for a few hours. Once we got to our stop we came upon the Spanish Steps, they were very Beautiful but also very slick! We walked all the way up them and once we got to the top could see over the whole City of Rome....this literally took my breath away! It really wasn't until this moment that I had realized that I was in the very heart of my faith, and would be seeing so many awesome places in the next several days!! In the area that we were walking around in there were a ton of different shops, mostly high dollar places like Dior, Louis Vuitton, and tons of others. We ate at a very small cafe that was very good, I think I am going to really love it here!! Once it was time to head back Katie and I had our very first Gelato.....boy oh boy was it yummy! Once returned to our residency everyone was here....it was amazing to see all of these familiar faces. I am very happy with the group that we have and I know it is going to be a great semester! We then ate dinner, I had no idea they have a pasta dish then a main dish, needless to say I was full! We had an overview of our time in Rome and got to know some of our staff. We then walked over to what I am sure is going to be one of our favorite night hang outs while we are in Rome! But now we are off to Mass at St. Peter's and I think I am still in shock, because this is like a dream come true!!
