Rome then Home

I do not know where to start. I have not wrote a blog entry for some time now. I had mix feelings about Rome. I loved it and at the same time I wish I was back in Florence. From the Vatican to the Forum and Coliseum, Rome has it all. Besides the sites, I found other reasons to love Rome: Sarah Beth. However, I learned that Rome is a city with too many people in it. A city that has millions of tourists a year should have more than two metro trains. In the end, I believe I loved Rome. Some of my favorite events occurred when I was off by myself. When my group and I were walking around the forum, I walked ahead of the group and just thought to myself. Following that time of solace, we ran into a gay parade that reminded me of the importance of the family.

Another event that I enjoyed while by myself was in the gardens near Flamino square. We had a large group that had planned on having a spiritual meeting, but instead of sticking with them, I walked off. I wondered around the park and took picture after picture until I found a bench to ponder on. My last wondering event occurred on Monday night at the Coliseum. I decided to walk around the Coliseum instead of sitting on the wall with everyone else. I reflected on the trip and how I was going to miss it, but I thought about the adventures to come and how much fun life is going to be because of this trip.


In conclusion to my trip, Rome was a great end to something that was well worth the time and finance. I will always remember this experience and I hope to reflect on it in the future. I learned much and have been blessed for the knowledge that I have gained.
