Ciao from Rome! These past 2-3 weeks in my program have been unbelievable! A few friends of mine went to the French Riviera where we hiked to the top of a hill in Nice, to a picturesque Nice below us where you can see people on the promenade, then our trip took us to two small towns called Eze and Antibes, both quite and quaint with spectacular scenery as well. We went to Monaco as well and visited the world famous casino, The Monte Carlo, where my friends and I in total lost 160 euros. That was great, and one of the other Rollins students ended up getting a Margarita, which cost 16 euro. That’s what you get when you visit the Monte Carlo!
Our program took us to Mt. Vesuvius, Sorrento, Capri, and Pompei last weekend where I had without a doubt the best weekend of my life. It was spent having full course meals, wine, champagne, private boats, hiking and beautiful scenery. Capri was magical and the pictures you see don’t do its justice. Capri was the most beautiful place I have ever been to! And if anyone reading this gets the chance to go, spend the extra little cash to get the chair lift all the way to the top, life-changing.
Ciao!
