Time to, say Goodbye

Yesterday I went exploring the Northeast part of Rome. The guidebooks don't direct you there, and you won't find many recommendations on the web to go this region, but one of the other interns is staying in this area for the summer and claims that it's worth seeing, so I went against all suggestions and went to investigate. I,  of course, found some hidden gems in this mostly residential area:

House joyful, inhabitants joyful

Basically there's one square

And in this one square are four houses

And the owners of these houses

Seemed to decide they could care less about standard architecture

Four houses and a fountain, I lied

And they decided to buck the trend

And using their money/power

Design there houses however they saw fit

Regardless of the architecture around them

And a chandelier. 4 houses, a fountain and a chandelier

Down the road lived two peacocks. And they said there was nothing to see in the Northeast part of Rome

Behind the obelisk, is Mussolini's house. He used to live in this area with his cronies

 Today I had my last day of work. I said my goodbyes to the museums and the other workers, came home to pack, went out to dinner with one of the other interns who also leaves tomorrow and now am writing a blog post. Everything is more or less packed, and the train schedule looks to be in my favor tomorrow (four trains, any of which would get me to the airport on time) so things should hopefully go smoothly. I'm concerned about the weight limit of my checked luggage, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Wish me luck, and if I have enough energy I'll post when I stop in London and then again when I'm at the hotel in Boston with mom. Keep me in your prayers!
