Week 5

This week we explored the transition period of Rome and visited a few churches which were apart of this transition.  Since the weather was nice this weekend, we went exploring around the Olympic Complex.  The Olympics were held in Rome in 1960 and still, to this day, the complex is amazing.  The tennis courts, which we somehow went into, were all placed in the ground - we could not even see them from outside the gate.  The Olympic Stadium is placed next to the outdoor track/soccer field.  Statues are placed around the field, as well as, the tennis courts.  We were also able to visit the Olympic pools and, across the river, we walked through the village where the athletes resided.
