This week, I had a full week of classes and was able to explore more of Rome. I was able to visit the Vatican during the week, which was such a great experience. I have gotten adjusted to living in Rome as well as adjusting to my classes. This weekend, my roommate and I went to both Colmar and Strasbourg in France. It was out of a movie scene. It was gorgeous! We even spontaneously ended up in Basel, Switzerland for the day. It was such a good weekend with a lot of unexpected surprises. (Submitted on January 28, 2024)
