Actually,

I love this free internet... Tres Coole, Molto Bene, if you will.

Anyways, all I said was the name of a local beer, Birra Peroni, the bottle cap was lying on the street. The guy freaked out. I think he was trying to cuss at us in every language he knew, b/c it sounded like he was switching up languages. Anyways, I thought I was learning some italian this summer, but was wrong. I didn't learn jack crap.

But we are going to the Vatican tomorrow. To mass, an open air food market for breakfast and lunch, and of course the museum--I'm not missing out on the Sistine Chapel. Hopefully we get a chance to see the pope when he gives his free audience every wednesday.

We did make it to a cafe to get some gelatto, not the one adam and yeiser originally wanted to go to, but one none the less. I ordered us a bottle of Chianti so we could have a proper italian "eurotrip" toast. Not very well received, I think most of the crowd has a sweeter tongue. They'll love the sweet whites from Alsace in Paris. Hopefully I can get a wonderful Gewurztraminer.

Well, It's burning up in here, and I'm dripping sweat, so I'm out.

Arrivederci!

Roma!

We officially arrived in Rome at approximately 11 am local time today, which is about 5 am eastern time. Most of us got some sleep, but I, being 6'5 and all, didn't really get any. We arrived at our hostel without any real problems and have spent most of the day thus far exploring the surrounding areas on foot. During our exploration we got cussed out by a drunken Italian guy, presumably due to Laso's attempt at speaking Italian (even though it wasn't directed at the guy). The plan for now is to eat dinner here at the hostel tonight and then go searching for some good Italian gelatto. Tomorrow it looks ilke we will be heading to the Vatican. Maybe we'll see the Pope helping the cats!!

Ciao!!

Adam
