Today was the first day of classes, which I was very thankful for because today I started my much needed Italian class. After class we then had the whole day to explore the Eternal City. Christina and I decided to take a nice stroll along the Tiber River to the Vatican. I told her I would be her tour guide for the outing because I had been there a few times, but things were much different when we got there. The Vatican was in a way I had never seen it before, in the Christmas spirit. It was breathtaking.
The Basilica was nearly empty which added to the overwhelming sense of serenity. After walking around marveling at the beautiful and intricate artwork, we decided to take the hike up top to see the the panoramic view of the Eternal City. It was worth the 537 steps up. A successful first day of class if I do say so myself.
