Roma! We made it to our final destination and I haven’t been able to stop singing Dean Martin songs since we got off the train (sorry to everyone around me). This morning we ate breakfast, used the internet, and went down to the train station early. Of course our train got delayed 20 minutes (typical for us), but we made our connection in La Spazia and got on our train to Rome. The train ride was about 3 and a half hours long and I would like to tell you that something exciting happened, but I slept almost the entire time. This funny little Asian girl sat next to Lo and I was really entertained seeing the girls head abruptly fall down asleep every 6 seconds. Haha. Oh the small moments of joy. Finally arriving at our station we got off our choo choo train, followed the directions to our hostel, and found it no problem. After a short wait, the owner came to let us in the gate and showed us our fantastic room. It is a cute little place. There are only 3 rooms in the hostel and it is very modern looking inside. Everything is spick and span clean and there are fun colored comforters that make me happy. Haha. We settled in, dropped our stuff, and realized that we were starving! We started walking the streets until we found a cute restaurant where we sat and enjoyed our early dinner. Four girls about our age sat by us and started talking to us. Turns out that 2 of them were from Houston and one had actually worked at Camp Ozark one of the same years that I did. Small world! So we had a bunch of mutual friends. It was crazy. We talked to them for a bit, then went back to our hostel and have been watching soccer highlights and relaxing. Tonight we just plan to chill and watch some TV. Our adventure will start tomorrow! We plan on doing a big bus tour around the entire city and then seeing the Vatican and Sistine Chapel as well. Hopefully we will be able to see everything in the next 2 days. Normally that isn’t an issue. We are actually pretty good at seeing everyone in one day. Anyways, there is a ton to see and a lot of history to unveil. Wish us luck in Roma!
