Rome

Alice in Wonderland
Now that i'm settled into the new apartment with 4 other roommates, which by the way are completely amazing! Its time to do Rome like the romans. Living in Rome is a completely different experience than just visiting. From buying groceries, school, ordering at restaurants, shopping, even to the way people make out, its just so peculiar. 'Everything is bigger in Texas' well I can officially confirm that its not far from the truth. Here everything is tiny! small portions of food, coffee, smart cars everywhere, I feel like Alice in Wonderland. Right away though I felt home sick and was humbled down. This country is different from what i'm used to so adjusting is taking a while but nonetheless i'm soaking it up one pasta bowl at a time. 
Cheers to this new adventure

The first day sight seeing
 This is Largo Argentina also knows as the cat sanctuary because its now occupied by a lot of cats! Its about 10 min away from where I live. Its actually about 10 feet below from where the actual streets are currently, they were temples and this is what remains as it was underground when it was discovered. Around where I took the picture below is where Ceasar was killed. So this is prettyyyyy old. Now we cross this everyday to get to where we need to go!
