Rome (reposted with pictures)

Sorry to everyone that requested updates, I was trying to make some edits with a cell phone yesterday. My flight from Greensboro was short and uneventful (although i was exhausted). In Philly I caught a train into the city, took some pictures, ate a cheesesteak, and met up with Chuck and a friend of his. While i was waiting for Chuck to get there I sat with a few friendly people. I told Frank and Sebrina from New Jersey that I would include them in my blog. Mission accomplished.

The flight from Philadelphia to Rome had some peaks and valleys. I was super tired after getting hours of sleep the night before and then walking all over Philadelphia. I didn’t smell too nice after being in the hot sun and i felt pretty dirty. I took some sleeping pills, but slept poorly, waking several times very very angry. The last time I woke up was as the plane was beginning to descend and the excitement killed the fatigue and anger. I got off the airplane in Rome. Dave met me at the airport. We followed the pictures for the bus and got downtown and found a map. We got to the hostel and checked in then began exploring. We meandered down cobbled roads, up and down hills, down narrow alleys, past savory bakeries and "Bars". Dave and i were talking about how cool the coliseum was and right then we came around a bend in the road and there it was; in all of its rustic beauty.

We saw some other stuff. I think the most impressive thing for me was the amount of time invested into all the art. I particularly like sculptures and the old architecture. I will post some pictures soon
