Day 2

So. Much. Walking. We walked over 10 miles today. My feet are killing me but I couldn't have had a better day. Orientation began at 10, but before we went to orientation my roommate Mackenzie and I walked to get breakfast. We ended up finding a bakery right next to our apartment and another grocery store a few blocks away. Mackenzie and I bought a delicious chocolate filled pastry from the bakery and some fruit from the supermarket. After breakfast we went back to meet our other roommates and new friends so we could all walk to school together.  My school has 21 kids. Total. Craziness. Through orientation  I was able to meet the other 20 students and I like every single one of them. At first I was kind of disappointed in the school's small size but I've gotten used to it, and I now really like the friendly, personal atmosphere the school creates. Orientation ended at  2 and that's  when the real walking started. For 5 hours my friends and I traversed through the heart of Rome. Our most notable stops were the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and Pantheon.  All three monuments were absolutely stunning. I plan on going back to visit them multiple times. Another exciting thing that happened today was that I  met up with Brittney for dinner. It was so awesome to see her again and all of my new friends loved her. Here are some pictures from our hike around the city; enjoy! (In order: Trevi Fountain, Spanish steps, Pantheon)
