Day of Freedom = SLEEP

Saturday, May 10th

Today was our "free day" in Rome. We didn't have tours set up and didn't have any set plans.

So. Nice.

I slept in a tiny bit and then went with a group in the morning to the Rome, Italy Temple site. It is still under construction but it is getting there! To see it, we went through a mall and out onto a balcony. It was a great view.


After the temple we made our way home and then stayed there. I took a long nap and did some blogging/facebooking/picture editing/etc. It was nice to unwind and recharge after a week full of constant excitement and energy.

Around 8pm, most of us went to a nice Italian restaurant for dinner and had such good food but it was so filling. I can't tell you how full I still am. But it was true authentic Italian pasta and was so worth it.

So today is my last day in Rome. It was a fun trip but I am ready to move on to another city. Siena awaits, and I am so nervous and excited to live with a host family. I'm really nervous about the language but I assume since the family has hosted before that they know what it's like for us American students, so it won't be too overwhelming.

Tomorrow, a brand new adventure begins!

Ciao!
