My final few days in Italy were pretty uneventful. We went back to Rome and saw some new things and sites we had already seen. It was fun to go explore a city which I already knew how to get around. My favorite thing I saw was probably the synagogue since it was interesting seeing a religious site from a different religion rather than the usual Roman Catholicism. When the time came to go home, it was sad but I was also happy the trip went so well.
All together I couldn’t have asked for a better trip, I made great friends, saw amazing sites, went to a soccer game, experienced local culture and food, and had one of the best months of my life. Now that I’m back home I have been looking back on all the great times I had and feel grateful that I got to experience it. (Submitted on January 29, 2024)
