Roma!

After some long trips over, our group all arrived in Rome by last Friday night and settled into our apartments. Campo di Fiori is an awesome place to live, it is right in the middle of everything and there's always something going on. So far, it has been beautiful here, it hardly feels like winter and the surroundings are pretty amazing. It is hard to describe what it is like to actually live here... we're all getting used to being in such a truly foreign place.

We started classes on Monday, settled into our studio spaces, and started our first project, which is an urban analysis of different Roman sites. The first site we visited was the Pantheon, which was pretty incredible. It's great to be living about five minutes away from a building with so much history and importance. Tomorrow we are visiting Michelangelo's Campidoglio to photograph and field sketch for our projects. In short, it is amazing to actually be here.
