• The finale of the trip

    December 1, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    Well that went fast. My final full day in Rome and thus my final day in Europe has arrived. So much for me to process, so many new connections made, lessons learned, memories created A LOT. What did I learn? I was told by someone wise that I'm not going to know that straight away, so this trip will have some important times of reflection. Anyways, the first thing we did was along the Tiber to the Aventine hill where I got another perspective on the Eternal city and a peer into the most beautiful keyhole in the world. After checking out Circus Maximus briefly, I did NOT get my hand snapped off by the mouth of of truth. A short walk over Piazza del Campidoglio provided some lovely views of the Forum and Colloseum once more. St Peter's Basilica is the biggest church in the world and that is soooo obvious inside. My breath was taken away multiple times in there wow. Lastly, to cap off the trip I had the best Carbonara I've ever had (thanks Lorenzo). I wanna thank Zia Annie, Zio Nevio and Lorenzo for all being so lovely and hospitable. It was genuinely great to make these new connections. Hope to see y'all again soon 👋Read more
