Today was our first experience in the city!! Slightly overwhelming learning all about the hectic public transportation, but what better way to learn than just jumping right in the deep end, right? Right?! (Well at least we had some water wings.. aka Danillo, Mike, and Professor!) haha. After taking the train into the city, we did a little scavenger hunt around Roma Termini to get familiar with that massive place and then got to figure out the metro on our way to find the American Embassy. What a morning!
And before we knew it we were let loose on our own to explore a part of the city!! My group headed to the Piazza del Popolo and the Piazza de Spagna. We stopped in the Basilica of St. Ambrose and Charles. It was just the first of many beautiful churches, I'm sure!!
Our next stop was the Spanish Steps, however it was only after getting a little lost that we finally found them. Who knew getting lost could be so beautiful?!

After grabbing lunch at a pizza place, we got some delicious gelato and finally ended up at the Piazza del Popolo. It was such a great way to end our afternoon! I was so proud of us for making our way and navigating the city on just our second day here!! I cannot wait to get back to the Piazza del Popolo and work on the walking tour that me and a partner will be creating and taking our whole group on! (So definitely more pictures to come from this area!!)
