One Day like Today I woke up thirteen years ago in Rome study tour, this time traveling so far on so little. Curiously, the first night was spent in a hotel, which was really rather a hostel.
I had always dreamed of going to Italy, but always had a hard time moving my family. So just as in Madrid that was two years later, I point to the trip that if with great joy when they chose Italy between the French castles and Granada.
In this post I will talk only of Rome, four days at 6 pm in the column of Trajan go far. If one day someone wants to stay with me in Rome, in the only place I know to go without looking at google maps. Trajan’s column as you can imagine was the meeting point of the 104 students who went on that trip, as we are in the guiness and all, who knows.
Rome, I felt a little sad I must say, is all monuments, my dearest with the lyre, was still the lyre and churches. In fact the first thing we see nothing more off the plane was a church where there was the Pieta of Michelangelo, I believe in a church there and one having lost a few pictures with faces up on the wall, my memory fails remember that churches were.
The next day was the first attempt to go to the Vatican, what happened to the museum was closed because it was the anniversary of Italy and the Vatican recognized each other later in the evening what I like about Rome, the Catatumbo place Meeting of the early Christians as they have changed since then. It gives great effect to see them after seeing the Vatican, which seemed the least spiritual place in the world.
The next day we left temporarily to go to Rome to Pompeii near Naples that was pretty well preserved or so could tell what had been and had even kept a house roof that turned out to be a house of hats (figuratively, of course ).
Not exactly what day it was but we were in the coliseum and the forum, where all the stones of the Romans. After all this stone, the Romans gave up embarrassment. Then finally the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. From the Sistine Chapel but I do not remember most of the rooms of museums, which roofs and floors so beautiful, I think I had some mummies.
Well this part of the trip was not so incredible because the food was horrible, where the best food was at McDonalds, seriously, they took us to a restaurant for dinner that I do not give us any day pasta or anything that was passable. One night they took us to a nightclub, was not much but it’s something good. And obviously there was partying last night but could only count as half, which is what I found out and you never know who you can read, I have to leave it there.I leave to the next post I went back to visit Tuscany 10 years later and the Veneto, Venice, the rest of the trip.
