A Touch of Rome

First of all, I'd like to greet all my Sr buds in the house, whazzup y'all? Okay, kay let's get down to business. Iam writing this cuz Friend asked me to and cuz wala akong magawa sa bahay and Iam so batong-bato. Damn, its hot! I have decided to write about UNIV. Last March, a bunch of Sr students together w/ some ppl from UA&P went to Rome, Fatima, the Holy Land, and Spain not as tourists, but as pilgrims. By the way, we just arrived last Friday, so some of these stuff are still fresh in my mind. Based on my personal experience, I would say that Rome's great. Its great esp. during Holy Week cuz the place is full of pilgrims and the place is so solemn. Rome is a place of numerous cathedrals, they say that if you look left and look right and there is no cathedral in sight, then you must be in one. I'll tell you the details later. All I'd like to say is that Rome's a nice place. Its a place where every corner, every street is a postcard. Rome is all these things, but most of all, it is the center of what was for many centuries the dominant civilization in the West. Beyond the crowds and the noise and the heat, it is a living history book, home to ruins and relics that no other city in Europe can match. Ruins and relics juxtaposed in common via's and piazza's that the Roman ppl see everyday uniting the past and present as one without recognizing the chrnological order of things and its boundaries.....
