Walking to Jonathan's Apartment
The American University in Rome
November 18, 2007
Are those groans I hear?
Little did we know, this was only the beginning of the hills we would climb
every day. Come on. We have to walk up Via Pietro Roselli.
In the orange/red building, on the right....
Yeah, that one, is the choir room
where we sat and listened to a class practice.
After walking past the University and reaching the top of the hill...
...and looking at this building while we catch our breath...
...A-HA!! There is a down hill after all. Even the via name changes. Now we're on Via Giacomo Medici.
Do you see that black jeep-type vehicle in front of the white camper?
There are two armed guards, machine guns. They were always there. Some of them
were nice and said Hi as we passed. Others ignored us. They were facing a gate
in the wall on the right side of this picture. We are not sure what they were
protecting. All that we know is they are not the police, nor the armed forces.
