Yesterday was our first day class which was exciting and slightly stressful. The course is a neuroscience and psychology class about fear and anxiety. It is really interesting but the work load is fairly heavy. As we had some work to get done, we decided to look for a cafe or library to do some homework after class yesterday afternoon. We took the bus out towards a cafe we found online. It just so happened that the bus stop where we got off was in front of this gigantic incredible building in the picture to the left. This building is the Piazza Venezia and is where the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is located. If we hadn't planned on doing work we would have explored this more and gone inside, but we will definite be going back soon. 
On our way to the cafe we also passed by a beautiful old church. The outside was amazing, which you can see in the picture to the right. Some of my friends were able to go in a take a look, but the rest of us didn't have our shoulders covered, so we could not. But, same with the Piazza Venezia, we plan to return soon! After this we found the nearby cafe and got some work done. It was a really nice atmosphere with good music and friendly people. Unfortunelty, the cafe closed at 6:30 so ended up having to leave. But it was a great place to work, and will most likely be a popular study spot for our class.
After we got back to out apartment, we finished up our work and went out for some gelato. This is a picture of Kalie and me with out cones. We have been in Italy only 5 days now and we have already gotten gelato 4 times! Don't know how long we should keep that up for, but the gelato here is just too hard to resist.
