This blog post will cover the highlights of my experience in Rome with the IPDS Italy crew. I arrived to Rome on January 3rd. It was confusing trying to find transportation to the hotel and then navigating to the hotel with my luggage. Rome felt a bit unsafe at first, and I was having a hard time understanding Italian after my brain was so adjusted to hearing German in Vienna. Once I settled in my room, I traveled around Rome seeing the Colosseum and walking around side streets. The IPDS crew landed on January 4th and I met them in the hotel. It was really exciting to be with people again, especially people who are my friends. Together we walked around Rome. Here are some pictures: Photo in front of Colosseum. 1/4/20 Photo at Vatican City. 1/4/20 Photo in front of Tibur River. 1/4/20 Photo in front of Pantheon. 1/4/20 Pizza with Salami. 1/4/20 I spent most of today traveling around Rome alone. I wanted to immerse myself in the culture and walked around the city, between small side streets, and stopped at cafes along the way. It was a lot of fun! Photo from Cafe. 1/5/20 Got to see the Pope during the Epiphany! 1/6/2020 I do not have any pictures, but after the Epiphany celebration we all went to the Torre Argentina Cat Sanctuary. We saw 7 cats and it was a really good time watching cats. Photo with Tanner at the King Victor Emmanuel II Monument. 1/6/20 Photo with bird. 1/6/20 Photo at top of the King Victor Emmanuel II Monument. 1/6/20 Photo with Tanner in front of Colosseum. There will be no fighting today. 1/6/20 We made it to Torremaggiore! It was a 6 hour bus ride to arrive, but when we did the b&b family met us and made us dinner. Here is a picture of the tortellini we had!

AuthorHello and welcome to my blog page! My name is Nicholas and I am a music education major with a minor in philosophy, my primary instrument is percussion, and my dream is to someday teach elementary general music. Through this program, I hope to increase my pedagogical repertoire and empathy when working with English language learners, to learn about myself as an individual, and to make an impact in the lives of the children in Torremaggiore, Italy. Feel free to browse through and return to my blog as I update it with my pedagogical and travel adventures! Archives
