So, Rome is absolutely beautiful. Day one we visited so many churches. One church in particular caught my attention, the church of Saint Ignacio. The paintings that were painted on the cealing were incredible. It was almost 3D; actually, it WAS 3D. I looked up and there you saw the representation of Africa, America, Europe, and Asia. All one, all connected. The paintings were very vivid, they looked at you, could almost glare at you. Each one had an intense look about themselves, it was great. The other site that we visited was the Panthion. It is, one of the greatest things I have seen in my life, as I walked and turned by a corner, I was speechless. The emperor who had the monument built was emperor Hadrian, it's interesting because that is the emperor that I am doing my research project on. The Panthion represented and was a worship place for the Romans of all religions, a place for pagans.
Overall my experience on the first day was amazing and I cannot wait for what is yet to come. The streets are beautiful, people are polite, wine is tasty, and drivers seemed to not be licensed ;)
