If I haven't explained this already the way my classes work is every class meets 2 times a week, one time in the classroom one time onsite aka field trips. This is fantastic of course because you learn so much more from being able to see works of art in person. The trick is you have to find your own way to the designated meeting point which could be a monument, a museum, a church or an address anywhere in Rome. So not only do I learn about art, I also get to learn about Rome's public transportation system. (I'll leave that topic to another blog). Today's field trip was to the Roman Forum. It cost 12euro to walk around in there and according to the ticket guy there are no discounts, we really tried but he was firm on the price. Of course it was totally worth it. Every site I go to I just love and hope to be able to find the time to return again as a brief (3-4hours) tour just is not enough for someone like me who could spend all day just studying one statue.
