Day 4

Happy Fourth of July! Today was a busy day over here in Rome. We had our 3 hour long Italian class in the morning, which was really fun. Our lesson today was about ordering food so right after we finished the exercises, we went to a local cafe and ordered coffee in Italian... I absolutely love all the hands on learning that we have been doing! I ordered a crema di caffe, which is basically a coffee milkshake. SO good! 

During our lunch break, the American University of Rome hosted a BBQ so all the Americans could celebrate the Fourth of July! As much as I love Italian food, hamburgers and chips were a great change!! Here is part of our group (photocred to AUR) 

After lunch we had 3 hours of Italian Politics, which went a lot better than I was expecting! The professor is very nice but is sometimes hesitant with her English. Following class, we all cooked Italian food-- bruschetta and pasta (and a fruit salad but that doesn't really count!) 

On our way back to the apartment, we had quiiiiite the adventure. The tram in front of us broke down so our tram couldn't move forward! Luckily we weren't too far away, but we had to get off and walk the rest of the way (Thankfully the rain had stopped!) 

Ciao for now!
