Rome

Duomo Area – Tour of Florence

Tourism is more concentrated in Florence than in Rome or Miami, it’s still an amazing place to visit. You can’t go to Italy and not visit Florence. It’s a completely different experience. Almost like a whole other country.

FIU Honors College Studies Abroad: A day with Michelangelo

The David is the greatest sculpture ever made by a human being. And, in case you didn’t know, it was sculpted by Michelangelo. After this piece (and this is my opinion), everything else is kind of a detail. Important, but less amazing.

One Door Closes, Another Opens…

I must admit I was sad to leave Rome. I was sad to leave a place with so much history and so much belonging.

All Good Things Come to an End…

So, it’s with a very sad state that I say goodbye to my favorite city and to all the wonderful people and experiences that I’ve made.

A day in Pompeii

Pompeii is a huge archaeological site in Naples (or around there). It’s a three-hour bus ride from Rome and it was once a thriving Roman city (after Rome conquered it).

Exploring Hadrian’s Villa – Rome, Italy

It was beyond beautiful. It was beyond amazing. And I have no idea how something this perfect could even exist — let alone be preserved like this.

My History, Your History, Everyone’s History

To me, it was truly a miraculous space, where I could easily get a sense of my presence on Earth.

Reflections in Rome

The colosseum was built by Emperor Vespasian, who does what Augustus did back then: gets power by pretending that he has none (manipulating the people). In essence, he built what the people wanted: free games and entertainment for all. In fact, it was a direct way to please the people by giving them a blood sport for free.

School Day – Walk Day: Another adventurous day in Rome

I love Rome. My feet are killing me but I still love Rome.

Porta Maggiore e San Giovanni

In other news, class starts tomorrow and I’m BEYOND excited!

SunDAZE: Domenica Giorno di Divertimento

It was a very interesting day. And, now, we are blasting Ed Sheeran and having some fun at the apartment. So far, I’m loving Rome! But I know I haven’t seen anything yet…

My easy breezy day as a tourist in Rome!

"All in all, it was a beautiful day."
