Today was the first day of Socratic Sandals in my program. As a rule for the classes, photographs are not allowed. Therefore, I will have no pictures for this post. The idea behind this mentality is that you actually analyze what you are seeing with your mind and eyes. In the end, you actually remember what you have experienced. Most tourists experience places through the lens of their camera. It's only when they return home that they actually process, what they have seen. Essentially, we are going to retain more of what we have seen during our time in Rome.
Not to blabber on, we began our Socratic Sandal at the Campo dei Fiori. This location was a site of many deaths and assassinations. Many public executions took place in this piazza. We then proceeded to take a tour through many winding streets ending up at the Piazza Navonna. This piazza was once a racetrack for Romans a few thousand years ago. While there, a stage was being erected for some type of concert. I'm a little curious to see what is actual going to occur there. I would like to attend if possible. After Piazza Navonna, we continued through winding streets and eventually ended up back at the Campo dei Fiori. From there, Luc Vosberg, Annie Remmerde, Alex Klus, Trent Witt, and I all ate supper at a pizzeria just to the south of the Campo. My supper was a plate of lasagna. It was absolutely delicious. As short as this post was, I don't really know where in the heck we were today. The winding streets just confuse the heck out of me. Well, until tomorrow, ciao!
