Day 25 - A Thursday.

I probably should have written this day prior to leaving to Frienze, but lets see what I can remember.

Woke up. Cereal and yogurt for breakfast. Shower was nice. We did alot of walking to check out some churches and a meridian line. Along the way to the churches we checked out another obelisk from Augusts. We continued along to see two churches from Bernini(San Andrea del Quirianle) and Borromini(San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane) which were pretty amazing. the ovalness of the churches was much different than the normal basilica style churches that I am use to seeing around. I really liked them, but mainly because it so different and much more feeling of connectedness.

We then walked towards Termini and saw Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri. A meridian line was built into the church which was very interesting to see. We then had lunch and eat at a nice Chinese place that Lisa recommended. It was a bit pricer but still very good. A few of us, walked back and worked on our projects before dinner. The project group sphere is the the first of my three complaints of the program. The second is the living arrangements, since the stuff keep breaking, not because of the people. The guy's apt is amazing, I have been enjoying hanging out with all of them. Actually mostly everyone is really awesome to hang out with here in Rome. There are the few bad apples, but that is the group project sphere issue so I am going to leave it at that. Finally the third issue is this whole issue with traveling with people post Rome. I am probably making the right choice in going home, but who knows what will happen in my future to know.

After working on the project for a bit, I was told that I had to go out and interview people. So I looked, but there was a large police presence, so I talked to some artists and then headed back to the apt. Read some news, and cleaned up and got some food for the large group dinner that we threw at the guy's apt. Luke made a polenta and chicken and salad dinner. It was amazing. The Oregon Girls joined us which was interesting to talk to and see their side of the world. Emma and Megan made some pretty amazing brownies. They were very chocolaty and fluffy and amazing. We had some drinks before starcraft and then heading to sleep for the long day tomorrow.
