So, yesterday we had an interesting and LONG day on the bus. So, we had a classroom day in the morning which everything was fine. We were talking about the Renaissance and humanism. Which was interesting cause a lot of time when we think of humanism we don't think of it in the context that we are talking about in class. but any way I know most of you don't want me to get all philosophical and historical thoughts so if you want to talk about it you can find me or message me on facebook. But anyway enough of that, so we go an assignment that we were to go to two different churches and compare the different art in them. ok, that seems simple enough, right. Well, the first church that we went to we got there fine and it was beautiful the art was incredible and we had to do some comparison work. This is where it gets interesting. Oh so I need to add one more thing right as we were getting ready to leave the church we met up with our teacher and he and his family decided that they were just going to come with us to the second church. Well, we missed the bus that we needed to get the second church by literally a minuet. Well we waited and waited and waited some more. We finally decided to take a completely different bus cause we thought it would take us where we needed to go well we could not have been more wrong. We got on the bus it went stop after stop after stop. We were on the bus for over and Hour!!! Yes we were on the same bus for over and hour. It was just by luck that one of us looked out the widow of the bus and realized that we were close to the catacombs that we were at the other day. We Finally got of the bus and we had to walk a little farther and get on another bus which finally took us back to the convent that we were staying at. Needless to say we have yet made it to the church that we were might to go to. Yes, I know it isn't some great historical site but it still was an adventure and a half. Tomorrow I will share about our adventures today as we explored the Vatican. Ciao from Rome
