Rome in the Rain

I've had a bad cold the past couple of days, and have been taking cold medicine non-stop in hopes of getting over it soon!

Luckily the weather looks a little bit better today--but who knows if it will stay that way!

Yesterday we visited a Refugee center in Rome that is one of the only day centers for Refugees. It is run by a Episcopalian Church, and has mostly refugees from Afghanistan and Iraq.

The day before, we visited the Colosseum and the Roman Forum--which were incredible! It is hard to believe I am actually standing in all of these historical places that I learned about as an Elementary School student! And there are so many other interesting builidings and monuments that I don't know anything about. Hopefully the next few weeks I have here will be enough time to learn more about some of the interesting things I have come across.

In the meantime I will keep sipping tea and drinking lots of water in hopes of feeling better soon!
