On Tuesday December 11th we took the students into Rome at night. We had dinner together. And then we explored some of the sights under lights.

Here is the Coliseum with its Christmas tree

Below is Piazza Navona and its Christmas market

And then we proceeded to Piazza della Rotondo. One of my favorite piazzas, especially at night and we have the whole place to ourselves.

The place that really surprised me was the Piazza de Spagna. We had the place practically to ourselves.

And last but not least, Trevi fountain. Time to through another coin in. The story goes that you will return to Rome if you through a coin in the fountain on your last day. It worked the last time......so.....

Wednesday, we had our farewell dinner in Castel Gandolfo. Today was spent grading papers, updating my blog and packing to return home tomorrow.
