My apologies for not updating my blog since before we visited Florence! I have been enjoying school and the experience but I am often away from the computer. These past few weeks have been full of activities from a soccer game (GO ROMA!) to exploring St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museum. Rome is always full of places to explore and for this I am truly blessed. This week has already provided some highlights. On Monday after history and Italian class, the students and I went to a conference on the Family and Marriage in the Catholic Church. Among the others allowed to the small gathering were several Ambassadors to countries such as Austria, Ireland and Canada as well as a special visit from Mary McAleese, the former president of Ireland. We had the privilege of hearing from five panel members on a variety of issues that were being discussed in the Synod. The conference had about 50 people from all over the world and they were all there just to listen like we were.
Today, we went to the Questura di Roma to the ufficio immigrazione where our existence in Italy became legal. This process has taken about a month and we are glad to have it finished! Hope I can keep this up and I will try to send as many updates as possible.
