In class we read two poems. The first poem was Rome: On the Palatine it was about describing Rome in the ruins and how you can experience it in the outer sense or visual or sound, and how those decorations in the ruins influence you in your outer senses. I enjoyed more the second poem named, Rome, building a new street in the ancient quarter. This poem has extensive architectural vocabulary in which I had to look up in the dictionary.

The Rome video was really cool; I was paying attention during the whole video and got a little sense of how Rome is. I’m very excited to go to Rome now! But I’m getting really anxious because I do not have anything ready for the trip just my attitude and U.S. passport! LOL
