Wine Class and the Vatican

So I missed out on writing about a lot of details in my first two weeks because of the lack of internet and the overwhelming amount of events that occured. So I've decided that I will try to focus one of those happenings in each of my next couple weeks of blogging.
There is a fruit market right outisde my apartment that is fun by two younger Italian men (both are in their twenties). They are always so friendly and helpful. I think they always try to practice their english with us because they ask us the same questions every day, but always end with "See you tomorrow". They say good morning to me even on the days I don't stop there to buy fruit-and ohhh the fruit. It really is amazing quality and I just can not figure out how fruit in the US can be so horrid compared to this stuff. The blood oranges and apples are to die for for! (Sorry Mom, haven't tried it with any blue moon)
Yesterday I had class from 9-4:30 with a short break. The day begin by making an early, cold, and rather long trek to the Piazza di Republica(not spelled correctly) to met for my Layers of Rome class. We went to Museo Nazionale Romano, a house for ancient Roman art. We looked at wall frescos (Empress Livia has a winter dinner room painted to look like a forest in full blood), mosaics (Romans love hippos, crocs, and pygmys), and sculputers (they made hermaphadite jokes). Then I had two house of Italian language, where I found out that I will have a test the day after the super bowl is on at 2am here- sigh the life of a student abroad. The day ended with a 2 hour info session on wine :-) Last night after skyping with some of my favorite people (My Mommy, Tylerphant. and Frank), I went out for a few drinks with some of the girls and def had a good night.
Today we went to the Vatican Musuem and saw the Sistine Chapel. It really is too much to take in all at once so I feel I will have to return to it in a few weeks to really get a grasp on the massive amazment that Mikey created. He always the coolest turtle. The museum has so many random things that the church has collected in the form of artwork over the past two thousand years- there is an entire egyptain wing I have yet to step foot in. The amount of beautiful paintins on a ceiling that runs for over 300 feet was so hard to comprehend. Who really spends that much effort ona ceiling? - The Catholic church. After the musuem I had a class on facism and promptly came home to spend three hours on skype with my wonderful mom as she called and tried to figure out all the crazyiness involved in changing my flight. I have two classes tomorrow and then I fly into Prague around 10 PM. So be looking out for info on castles and torture chambers in the next entry!
