Week 15 Review

Image
I enjoy hearing poetry and art in languages I am not familiar with. To me it sounds much better in the language it was originally made in.

The plane touched down at around 10 AM, but back home it would only be 3 AM. But I wasn't tired. I had just landed in Rome and as I got my luggage I went out to look for my ride.  "Rohit! Over here! Right here!" I heard people calling my name. I looked around quickly to see where the voices were coming from and spotted my two cousins waving frantically to get my attention.  I went over and hugged my cousins who I hadn't seen in almost three years! And just like that we were ready to start out adventures throughout Italy's cities. Rome Author's Note: For this revision process I tried to add more detail with slight changes in wording.
