Ok for our first real day we did what Rick Steves refers to as the Cesser shuffle. The Colosseum, the Roman Form and the rest of the Roman ruins. Lars got pictures, I was so grumpy from not getting enough food during breakfast that I nearly killed Lars and Jeff as we were walking through both places. needless to say I didn't really like the tourist sites that much and wanted to get away from them asap. Once we got lunch (I had a really bad lunch actually but what ever it was food) I was much happier and I was able to put up with touristing for a bit longer. Thankfully we just wandered through a few nice squares and the pantheon until we came up upon the UW Rome center.
There we wandered in feeling really sketchy and a nice lady who was surprised to see us, but very friendly anyway gave us a quick tour. We were on our way out when Lars spotted one of his friends. We chatted with her for a bit, they gave us some places to see. The first being a peephole in a hill somewhere that they circled on a map and the second being a hill to goto at noon for a surprise.
After we left the Rome center we tried to fine the peephole. About an hour of wandering later we gave up and went back to the hostel for dinner.
We had the hostels ok dinner and then went out for a pub crawl. I didn't think it was that great, overpriced and there were a lot of 18 year old German and Danish kids. We went back fairly early, but not after I had a nice chat with the organizers. They were very interesting people from all walks of life that just happened upon the job for some reason or another. It was fun hearing their backgrounds.
I'm skipping a lot of this day because I didn't like if that much, acted like a dick and don't really want to talk about it.
Moving on...
