肯代尔大学意大利美食发现之旅：完结篇

今天一早醒来大家就异常兴奋，因为我们要去探索罗马古城。这是我们很多人一直都很期待的事情。我们直奔罗马斗兽场（Colosseum），一名被吉普赛人围着的导游正等着带领我们游览整个斗兽场，遗址一直延伸至梵蒂冈（Vatican）。
我们一些人想要一些切身体验，真正融入到这些历史遗迹当中，所以我们出发前往了古遗址和斗兽场。罗马斗兽场也称为Amphitheatrum Flavium，坐落于罗马市中心，是由罗马皇帝维斯帕先（Vespasian）于公元72年修建。之后由他的儿子提图斯（Titus）修建完工，并由图密善（Domitian）改建完善。斗兽场有80个拱门入口。这些入口便于观众自由进入斗兽场，当时每位观众都是按照其地位高低来就座。斗兽场是由混凝土和石头建造而成，被视为罗马建筑和工程史上最伟大的建筑之一。它也是世界上最大的竞技场，能够容纳5万至8万名观众。斗兽场过去常被用于举办决斗和公共表演如模拟海战、狩猎、死刑、著名战役重演以及经典神话戏剧。听起来场面十分宏伟壮观……
古罗马城市广场（Roman Forum），也称之为古代遗址（Ancient Ruins），是一个位于罗马城市中心的矩形广场，紧挨古罗马斗兽场，周围是古罗马时期一些重要政府建筑的废墟。它也是罗马公众生活的中心，凯旋军演、选举、公开演讲、刑事审判和角斗都曾在这里举行。而如今这里残留的却只是一片建筑废墟群，但是真正融入其中却让人有了非现实感。从书上了解历史是一回事，而亲身经历又是另外一回事。
我们游览了整座城市，参观了西班牙广场（Piazza di Spagne）、波波洛广场（Piazza di Popolo）、万神殿（Pantheon）和梵蒂冈（Vatican）等。我们逛了各种小店，在市里享用了午餐，最后我们集合作为一个团队用餐。这是一次苦乐参半的体验，因为我们中的一些很兴奋第二天就要回家了，但是又舍不得这个生机勃勃、神奇美丽的城市。我们在这个城市走了14个小时，毫无疑问为我们下学期天天站着上课打下了良好的基础。而我的朋友们身体素质就没有我们这么好了。现在，我们知道为什么意大利人必须消耗碳水化合物了。
西班牙广场是罗马最著名的广场之一，因为这135个台阶是由教皇本笃十三世（Pope Benedict XIII）于1725禧年揭幕，作为连接西班牙大使馆和圣三一教堂（Church of Trinita dei Monti）的通道。万神殿（Pantheon）是由Marcvus Agrippa在罗马第一任皇帝奥古斯都（Augustus）在位期间修建，后由皇帝哈德良（Hadrian ）于公元126年重建。这幢建筑是一个圆形建筑，三角墙下方由花岗岩加工而成的巨大的科林斯柱式门廊撑起。它是古罗马建筑群中保存最好的建筑之一。波波洛广场（The Piazza del Popolo），意思是“人民的广场”，是罗马一个大型都市广场，它的名字来源于人民圣母教堂（Santa Maria del Popolo）。这是我们的最后一站，在我们上车回酒店度过我们最后的时光之前，我们品尝了马卡龙和莫斯卡托葡萄酒（moscato）。这是一次奇幻之旅，就像罗马不是一日建成的一样，你很难在一天之内完全了解这座城市。
以下只是我个人的看法，一个人想要在生活中不断成长的话就必须去旅游。我们必须将自己的脚步扩展至世界的另一边，了解不同文化、不同美食、不同传统和不同信仰。尽管我们可能不会讲他们的语言，但是我们必须与其他人相互联系。美食已经成为一种通用语言。来自任何一个国家或大陆的人都懂得品尝美食。这是一种能将全世界人聚集在一起的语言。为了使自己成为在心态、心智和情感上都很优秀的人，大家必须有这种体验。我真的相信，尽管这次旅行只有10天，但是我们都已成长许多。感谢每一位为我们旅途做出贡献的朋友。感谢Aurore和Adriano在整个旅行当中都陪伴着我们，并在罗马将我们送到机场直至离开。
我的名字叫做Kim Haines，是这次旅行的记录者。我希望你们能够通过我的故事和照片间接了解到我们这次的旅行，我也希望大家能够与那些不能和你们在一起的爱人一起分享这次旅行的伟大。
感谢肯代尔大学和院长Zonka提名我来撰写这个博客，我真的感到非常荣幸。感谢院长Zonka和厨师Altieri在这次疯狂旅行当中陪伴我们，并作为我们的守护天使守护着我们。至于这次旅行中陪伴着我们的其他人，我希望你们能够记住这次我们共同分享的独特旅行。再见意大利！谢谢你！

Kendall College, October 1st, 2014
This post is authored by Kendall College student Kim Haines
We awoke today, excited to explore the ancient city of Rome. This is what a lot of us had been waiting for. We went straight to the Colosseum, where a guided tour, surrounded by gypsies, was awaiting to take us around the Colosseum and the ruins up to the Vatican.
Some of us wanted a more intimate experience to truly be apart of each of the monuments and so we went off to travel back in time into the ancient ruins and the Colosseum. The Colosseum, also known as the Amphitheatrum Flavium, is located in the center of the city of Rome and was commissioned in 72 AD by Emperor Vespasian. It was completed by his son, Titus, and then altered improved by Domitian. The Colosseum has 80 arched entrances, which use to hold statutes in the entry ways. The entrances allowed spectators to freely enter and each spectator was seated according to rank. The Colosseum was built of concrete and stone and is known to be one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering. It is/was the largest amphitheater in the world and can hold between 50,000 to 80,000 spectators. It was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on classical mythology. Sounds like a great time…
The Roman Forum, also known as the Ancient Ruins, is a rectangular forum surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city in Rome. It is located directly next to the Colosseum. It was also the center of Roman public life, where triumphal processions, elections, public speeches, criminal trials, and gladiatorial matches took place. What is left of this social place is only a clutter of architectural fragments, but being apart of that was surreal. Reading history from a book is one thing, but truly being apart of it is another experience in its own.
We made our way around the city to then find the Piazza di Spagne (the Spanish Steps), the Piazza di Popolo, the Pantheon, the Vatican, and more. We walked around the shops, had lunch in the city, and then, eventually we all found each other and had dinner as a group. It was a bittersweet experience, because as some of us were excited to go home the next day, we also did not want to live this vibrant, beautiful city. We spent 14 hours walking amongst the city, which will absolutely prepare us for standing on our feet all day in the quarter to come. That, my friends, will be a breeze. Now, I see why Italians must consume carbs.
The Piazza di Spagne is one of the most famous squares of Rome because the 135-step staircase was inaugurated by Pope Benedict XIII during the 1725 Jubilee and it was released in order to connect the Bourbon Spanish embassy to the Church of Trinita dei Monti. The Pantheon is a building in Rome that was commissioned by Marcvus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus and rebuilt by the emperor Hadrian about 126 AD. The building is circular with a portico of large granite Corinthian columns under a pediment. It is one of the best-preserved of all Ancient Roman buildings. The Piazza del Popolo, which means “People’s Square,” is a large urban square in Rome, and it derives from the poplars after which the church of Santa Maria del Popolo. This was the last stop, where we had macarons and moscato, before getting back on the bus to go back to our hotel for the last time of the trip. It was such a magical experience, but just like Rome was not built in a day, it is hard to see it in a day as well.
It is in my opinion that in order to grow as a person in life, one must travel. We must spread our wings to the other side of the world and learn about different cultures, different foods, different heritages, and different beliefs. We must connect with other people, even if we do not speak their language. Food has become a universal language. Any person from any country or continent can understand food. This is a language that can the bring the world together as one. In order to peak as a person, mentally, intellectually, and emotionally this experience has to happen. I truly believe that, even though it has only been ten days, we have all grown as individuals. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our trip. Thank you to Aurore and Adriano who came with us throughout the entire journey and finished with us in Rome to dropping us at the airport for our final departure.
My name is Kim Haines and I have been the voice of this voyage. I hope that you have been able to live vicariously through my stories and photography and somewhat share the greatness of this journey with your loved ones that you could not be with.
Thank you to Kendall College and Dean Zonka for nominating me to write this blog, I am truly honored.
