Someone should be filming us!

My life totally feels like a movie. These past few days have been unreal. On Thursday we had a neighborhood walk around near our studio. The neighborhood we live in is the Jewish Ghetto. The term Ghetto was meant as closeness and tight-knit group of people, not what we typically think of. While walking around we came to what is known as the cat sanctuary. Basically it's old ancient ruins of palaces and it is now home to a ton of homeless cats that just chill out there. It's pretty crazy! Another crazy thing is when you are standing in front of it, you are standing in the spot where Caesar was stabbed. Yes, that happened.

Friday night our professors took the Interior Design group out for dinner after our orientation was over. I had a potato, cheese, sage and onion pizza that was absolutely freaking amazing. Heaven on a plate followed by a nutella crepe :) The Italians really love nutella here!

The next day my apartment group minus one girl decided to take the day to go shopping. We shopped literally till we dropped. We walked around for six hours and we were all successful! Walking around and shopping that much while trying on expensive clothes and passing stores like Dolce and Gabbana felt like we were pulled out of a movie scene. Just insane. We resisted the urge to walk into those kinda stores...wayyy to dangerous haha. Adding to the movie scene, on our way home from shopping we walked by a restaurant that had an accordion player outside playing music. Apparently that's just normal! Italy is a movie scene. If you've ever wanted to feel like you are in a movie Rome is the place to be. Just saying.

After shopping we came home and cooked dinner and then headed out around 10:30 for a night out on the town. My apartment group (all seven this time) ended up at a bar right next to the Colosseum. We spent the night there bonding and getting to know each other till the wee hours of the morning. We arrived back home around 2:30 haha

Today was a casual day. We just went to the beach on the Mediterranean Sea. No big deal right!? While we were there we were serenaded by a group of young Italian men who were super nice. My roommate Emily even got kissed ;) it was entertaining.

Those have been my adventures so far, and there will be plenty more to come! Keep checking in and I'll post as often as I can! Arrivederci!
