St Peters Basilica is breathtaking. And it spawned one of the most interesting conversations I've ever had on catholicism and faith in general... Erika even convinced me to read A Mere Christianity.
The Pantheon inspired an entirely different emotion. At night, it looked ominous and eerie and there were homeless people sleeping in the shadows. I look forward to seeing it in the day.
Gelato! Definitely worthy of mention. It was amazing --just don't get the lemon flavor unless you want your entire mouth to pucker up !
Our Italian friends took us ice-skating between Castel Saint Angelo and the Tigris River. Minus the uncomfortable ice skates, it was very fun !
Daytime:
We saw a demonstration on the street near the Jewish Ghetto today. The man telling us about it only spoke French so I helped translate. I was surprised how well I understood him and was able to respond! Coming to Rome has revived my love of languages and my desire to learn as many as I can !
Ciao!
and I never said thank you for translating. grazie!
