American University of Rome

Today was my first day of classes at AUR. After walking up nearly 240 steps to get to Monteverde, where are school is located, I was a little winded to say the least. My classes were really interesting and I look forward to learning a lot about the italian language and culture. Just around the corner on Via Carini, is a place called Pizzeria da Simone. It is a small shop with long counters, primarily for takeaway. The pizzas here are long and narrow and you can buy your pizza by the slice which is then cut and folded into a sort of pizza sandwich. Being in Rome and not loving pizza, is a bit of a problem; however, they sure look amazing!
