I am very excited to announce that I have booked a flight and four nights in Rome itself during Spring break in March. As an aspiring Classical Historian I count this trip as necessary as a pilgrimage to Mecca is for a Muslim. I got a killer deal on Alitalia and a highly-rated hostel in the heart of the eternal city.
I will spend the bulk of my time studying the Roman ruins, mainly the Forum, Colosseum, columns, arches, bath complexes and stadia. I will also make a day trip to the Vatican. I’ll keep myself fed on the ancient Mediterranean triad: bread, wine and olive oil (and pizza too) and take plenty of photos.
This trip should be a dream come true. After this, I’ll have to pick between Athens and Constantinople (in my heart, it’s still called that).
