Today I had two classes that span two hours each. The first class is Architecture and the second class is Ancient Rome: History and Myth.

For Architecture we went to Castel Sant' Angelo which once used to be the burial ground for Hadrian emperor of Rome and later converted to a Castle to protect Rome from the barbarians to the North. In Medieval times and present day it is a fortress for the pope in times of war and is connected through a tunnel to the Vatican.

For Ancient Rome: History and Myth we walked around part of the Roman Forum, the center of Ancient Rome. Things that we saw included old theaters, temples, churches, and the Bocca della Verita (Mouth of Truth). Look at the picture labels for names.

Classes here are definitely better then my EE courses!!!
