Living in Rome is quite the experience. Our dormitory/apartment complex is located in the section of the city known as Trastevere. Its a pretty bustling are south of the city center. Its location is very perfect for our classes. Its about a 20 minute walk to the Pantheon, where our classroom is.
Trastevere is full of narrow cobble stone roads that lead to small piazzas, with small restaurants everywhere.
The Tiber river also runs on the north side of the area, and our building offers a spectacular view. In one part of the river, a small island stands between the two riverbanks, and a bridge connects it to either side. It is called Tiber Island, or in Italian Insula Tiberina, This island has on it a hospital. Ever since the 3rd century BC, it has been a place of healing when a temple to Aesculapius was erected.

I just came from Rome. It was amazing, especially the pizza. If you get the chance try the white pizza I thought it was soooo good.
That place looks absolutely awesome. Particularly that pizza. Looks like you’re in for a pretty beautiful summer!
