This weekend I stayed in Rome, which was great because my favorite thing to do is to just go on a walk and find something new that I've never seen before. What made this weekend even better was that Loyola's Cork, Ireland program visited for a long weekend! It was so much fun to show my Loyola friends around my city. I showed them my school here and my favorite places to shop and eat, but I also got a chance to play tourist and discover new places with them. On Saturday we went to the Pantheon, which I hadn't been in yet, and explored the area surrounding the Colusseum and the Arch of Constantine. On Sunday morning we walked through the Jewish Ghetto of Rome and got pastries for breakfast at one of the area's renowned bakeries. We then headed to St. Maria in Cosmedin, where the famous Bocca della Verita or Mouth of Truth sculpture is located. We had a great weekend, and it was so cool that we were able to just meet up in Italy! We're already planning another reunion, this time in Ireland!
