So, I've finally given in and decided to take my first trip away from the city of Florence this weekend, and Rome seemed like a good enough place as any. I feel like I'm the only one at NYU in Florence who hasn't stepped foot outside of Florence yet. All my friends have been everywhere already: Paris, Venice, Lucca, San Marino, Switzerland, Germany... I didn't want to go at first because I didn't want to spend the money, and also because I didn't want to fall behind in schoolwork. Please don't make fun of me.
But I guess I realized that I have so few opportunities to travel so freely to all these different places, and I should take advantage of being here. It'll be expensive, but I guess it's the experience that matters more.
I'm really excited to be going to Rome. All the guidebooks and websites say that there's so much to do in Rome, you'll never be able accomplish it all even in a lifetime! I hope this is an exaggeration, because we will only be spending two nights. The guidebooks also said that, at any given time, there are more tourists in Rome than there are Roman citizens. Isn't that funny? It should make for a fun weekend. Ok, I'm going to take the train now, and I'll vlog you when I return. Ciao.
