Just stopping by to put up a couple of pics from my class trip to the sanctuary sites of Brauron and Amphiraion last weekend. I didn't take that many, because unfortunately, one decrepit temple is starting to look much like another, lol. And really, there are only so many photos you can take of crumbling stone foundations. But anyway, it was definitely still interesting.
I just have to say that I am SO EXCITED - I leave Monday for Rome!!! I still have 2 papers to turn in by Friday night but after that I'm free to enjoy my weekend in Athens and prepare for my trip. I still have to research places to go in Rome, and I have to hit the flea market on Sunday to look for a cheap duffel bag. I still can't believe that I'll be in Italy in 4 days! It's such a dream come true for me!
Oh and one more thing - just a quick shout-out to the fam. I REALLY MISS YOU ALL!!! Mom, Dad, Titi, Lindy, Jito & cousins too, I think about you all the time! Mom, please call this weekend because I won't be able to talk to you guys once I'm in Italy.
xoxo

I know there are a lot of underrated things to see in Rome that tourists dont get too cuz theyre morons. unforunately i dont remember a lot of them, i know there is this palace thats full of work by raphael and titian and others that is open to the public but no one goes since it isnt famous. there are bernini sculptures and obelisks people dont get to. probably even michelangelos and da vincis in random churches no one sees. id try to find the random masterpieces you dont have to wait long lines for. a place to see is Galleria Borghese im not sure its the villa i was thinking of but it might be it, we learned about it in my art history class. go to the bernini fountains. im a huge bernini fan, get me pix. the bernini church is santa maria della vittoria. go to piazza Venezia, go to Santa Maria Maggiore, go to Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II and take pix
