"I wish...."

GELATO!!!

Trevi Fountain WISH
Yesterday we went to Trevi Fountain! This was my first time seeing the fountain! It was GORGEOUS!!! I made my wish and the first time I threw my coin in, I MISSED!! OOPS!!! But I made it on my second try! We walked around near the Spanish Steps and did some shopping. I bought 2 scarves at a street venders which I love! They were only 5 Euros each! I opted out of shopping at Dolce and Gabbana and Versace. I thought they might be out of my price range. What do you think MOM?? :) School has been pretty overwhelming. I have been keeping up and getting ahead of my course schedule, but the reading is extremely tedious. I have probably read more in the last two weeks than I have in my existence!!! We have read Oedipus the King by Sophocles, Phaedo by Plato, Letters of Ignatius, Art and Architechure readings, and a TON of Ancient Roman History in some of Livy's works; as you can see, very very time consuming and tedious.
Well, we are off to Assisi tomorrow, for the weekend. It should be a great trip. The weather is looking very very chilly, a possibility to snow!!! I am really looking forward to this trip, and I am sure I will come back with TONS of pictures!!
