so i will give you much more detail of my excursions. i have been with the same but different people everyday(you can tell by my pictures). today we had a bbq at the school for a little than went into the heart of rome again and went back to the wedding cake building aka the big white monument aka the moneument for victor emanual II. we learned today that it was a monument for the kind emanuel and it too like 20 years to build (1884-1905), and he was the king that unified italy into one state(now htat sounds a little familiar, i think i remember it from european histroy 11th grade). we climbed up the steps, me veyr slowly and very oddly becuase i cant bend my knee, so it was funny to watch me walk up them all, and even funnier to watch me go down. we also went to the very top of hte building and saw an ammmazzing view of rome, you could see everything(and becuase we have been to a lot of places we knew what they were wihtout hte map!) but it was a great view, got some great pictures. after that we went back to the trevi fountain and met up with some people but wound of having dinner with other people we ran into/were looking for. it was a great meal. 2 huge courses for 12 euro, plus a great bottle of red wine. the waiters there were so funny, so it was a good meal. we than got really yummy, rich, creamy gilato and walked/road back.
and that leaves me here, sitting in my room with extremley cheesy wallpaper, on a twin size bed that really is more like a cot, with my marble floors and my balacony that has a view of hte montains, in a my nice warm apt.
rome is good. and i will update more later. hopefully this blog is good enough for now. :)
