Two weeks have already passed on this study abroad program, and I can honestly say that every moment has been impact full. So far there have been visits to Rome, Naples and Pompeii. However, the most dumbfounding experience was when the group visited Pompeii. Seeing a city that was completely destroyed, yet perfectly preserved, was a surreal experience for me. Not too many sites in America have been preserved in time for the public to observe. This observation of history, years before our existence, was a jaw dropping experience and one that has yet to completely sink into my thoughts.
