Last Day in Roma

Ciao Roma!!!

Our last day in Rome as a group began with a lecture in Mary's class- our last in the University of Washington Rome Center.  Mary gave us a concise recap of modern Italian history and then took us on a walk through the neighborhood of Trastevere and up to the top of the Janiculem hill.  The weather was some of the most beautiful that we have had our entire stay in Rome!  And the view of the city was exquisite.

The rest of the day was spent finishing our last minute tasks up getting ready to move out and move on from Roma until our final dinner together at 7:30.  We spent many hours together as a group, enjoying each other's company and reflecting on a wonderful trip to Rome.  The food was perfect, but the friendship even better.  With touching words from Mary, Lisa and classmates alike, a better evening could not have been asked for, it goes without saying that none of us can wait for a reunion in Seattle!

Ciao Roma!  Until the next trip!!
