We woke up today and looked off our balacony and it was a gorgeous, rain-free day! It’s a free day until 5 p.m., so a group of us walked to the Trevi Fountain and then to the Pantheon. I was really glad we went to the Trevi Fountain because of a certain sad incident that happened in middle school. Here’s the story: So, 7th or 8th grade I borrowed a bunch of pictures and Italy-related items from my aunt. I used them in a presentation about Italy for my history class. When I went to return all the pictures to my aunt, I realized the picture of the Trevi Fountain had bent in my bag. I was really embarrased, so I didn’t return the picture. So, I told myself I would make it up to her one day and get her a replacement for the missing picture. So, Aunt Carol, I’m sorry about not returning that picture, I was scared you would be upset, but I’m making it up now with a fresh picture for you album! Love you!
I’m really glad I went on this trip– it’s been wonderful and I’ve learned a lot about other cultures and about myself. I’ll make sure to blog once more when I get back to Mobile (hopefully on Sunday night, heard there was a snow storm supposed to hit New York on our way back). I’ll add a lot more pictures to that blog and hopefully some videos! Ciao!
Just read your blog today, Rebecca… Say what again?? Picture of Trevi?? I cannot even remember missing a picture. It must have been a picture postcard. You are so funny to remember something for so long. Sign of a good mind, I guess!! My 50-ish mind is graced now to have its own delete/forget ability. HA. Glad you had a great time in the motherland of half your forefathers. Looking forward to seeing you nad your pictures once you get relaxed and recovered…in about a MONTH… Ha. and ha.
