travel in europeOne 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.
