Our son is on his second month in Rome and is loving Europe. I tease him that he is already Italian. Papa agrees – Half “Ita” and half “Ilonggo” ( haha!! ) He is on a semester abroad and chose Rome. There’s so much more out there other than New York City !! His school is in the Trastevere area and so they live nearby school. He showed us around his area. He has walking classes where they go to the actual sights and artworks that they are studying. He scheduled his classes from monday to wednesday so he can travel to nearby cities in Europe from thursday to sunday. What a great opportunity for him to be doing this
*** Trastevere is considered by many most authentic Roman quarter because, Although not far from major tourist areas in the city has maintained its distinctive rhythm and lifestyle. The district begins,at one end, with the tiny and so beautiful Tiberina Island.
This island was founded (the legend say…) before 500 BC from a bundles of wheat, today the site has the Fatebenefratelli Hospital. Also the main point is the beautiful view from the island that is scenic; with the Tevere River and the lights of Rome as a frame. #Trastevere #h2hrome #h2heducation
He took us on tour around where he lives and where his school is. I love the cobblestone streets and the feel of the old city
He first lived on top of that sign – the window above it – but they moved because there was not enough space for the 4 of them
They were lucky to move here which was a building with 3 floors and a rooftop which they had all to themselves!! LUCKY!!!
