walkingancientrome_2019Ciao!
Today was pretty crazy. Some would say enchanting, others mesmerizing. I, however, don't really have the words to say exactly how what I saw made me feel/think! It starts with hearing others' presentations to explain the scene of what we are about to experience. Then we are on the actual sites of the Forum Romanum and the Colosseum, and I, simply, am experiencing something that I can only experience in very few places in the world. I am seeing a valley, in its modern form, but also I am seeing more. I am imagining different worlds, spaces, and realms, that have all existed before me. Where peoples lives and stories, a reality that ceases to exist, still reverberates through time in a way I can only describe as being truly classical. It makes me think of how much can change in so little a time, but also how much never changes at all. And that is something I have yet to know how to concisely explain.

Also, I am more confident with my bus navigating skills and I definitely am enjoying getting to talk to everyone on the trip more!
Ciao!
