From Babylon to Berlin: ANES Museum Tour of Europe: Rome, Classical sites

ANES Museum Tour of Europe

Join us in the British Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris, and important museums in Berlin and Munich. We will then travel to Greece, where we will enjoy the sites and museums of Athens and visit Delphi, Corinth, and Eleusis. Our study abroad will end in Rome, where we will spend a day in the Vatican Museums and see the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s; spend a full day in the Forum and visiting other ancient Roman sites; and then spend half a day in the catacombs before going to the important ancient port of Ostia. #BYUAbroad #BabylontoBerlin #BYUANES

Rome, Classical sites

At the Roman Forum

Wednesday, June 21, was a very full day. I got up at 5:15 a.m. and went for a run. After breakfast with the group at 7:00, we were out the door at 7:40. We were out all day seeing the primary sites of Classical Rome and then did not get home from our group dinner until after 10:00 p.m. One of our students found on her phone that we had walked a total of 14 miles!

I got back to my room, got ready for the next day, showered, and dropped, breaking my streak of blogging every day. It is now early the next day and I am scrambling to get ready for another day, so I am going to simply post my Instagram collages so readers can have an idea of what we did. Hopefully I can come back later and expand this post with more high res images and some explanations.
