Any time you visit a new place, there’s always a time of adjustment to get used to a new environment. These two weeks have been a major acclimation period for me; new streets, new culture; new people. While I still have a lot to learn about my surroundings, I’m starting to get used to the major areas we’ve been frequenting lately. With each day, I have also started to get a better handle on the Italian language. Though I am nowhere near fluency, I am at the point where I know most basic phrases and some other random vocabulary.
By the end of this trip, I hope to have a much firmer grasp of the language and a few nearby backstreets that still all look the same. In the meantime, I hope to get a little bit more out of my comfort zone, at least to experience local culture a more than I have already. The combination of these things would give me a much better understanding of Rome and probably make things even more fun.
