Woke up late at 11:30, what happened to getting up at 8?? I have no idea, we were all passed out. Alex and I went sight seeing taking great pics, and the rest of the gang met up with hostile gang and beached up it up. We walked ALLLLL OVER, and my new awesome shoes gave me great blisters, sweet. We all met up again and showered before heading off to find the train station, which here we go again, the line of girls with a shiz ton of baggage, rolling down the street, hahaha we looked ridic. The train wasn't too far, about a 15 min walk, so that saved us, and my back from braking. We met hostile girls and realized we had about an hour till the train got there (9 is take off). Shadytrak shows up and we board, laughing hystiracally because the hallways are 12 inches wide, yeah our suitcases are triple that, and we have these sleeper cars that fit four, and we are not all together, here is the line up: Katie with and Italian fam of three, Dirks, Kaylen, Cori and The Monk, Alex and I with French lady and her daughter (they didn't speak English so that went over well) and Al, Jill and Abby (side note the 4 the person was kaities ticket that she lost, tough break) The monk girls had some great convo, we didn't have any, kaite got some cookies from the fam, and our friends room became home base. Lond story short again......train leaves finally, we stop at a popo station for a rando white gloved hobo that jumped off our train....stoopped somewhere at 1 AM for an hour in which we grabbed food at a random shack outside the station where they laughed at us for being Americans, nice start......train has "emergency" stop around 8 AM bcause psycho man cuts open his stomache and refuses to get off train....creepy...and arrive only about 15 late I thin it was. WE ARE FINALLY IN ROME ALL IN ONE PIECE! We (now it's a group of 9 carrying alllll of our luggage) find a bus that takes us to our check in spot, do some shifts of checking in/watching bags, taxi our way (no more lugging 1402390 lbs of shit) to our new home at piazza novana, draw for rooms (there are 5 of em) and move in. The lineup goes: Emily & Maria, Katie and I, Dirks & Abby, Lucia & Alex, Jill & Al = a crazy group of loud girls. We get settled unpack, eat dinner, jill, Al and I made the mistake of sitting at a rest, ordering sparkling water, eating the bread on the table, and oredering a mamosa....55 euro later we aren't really that full and pissed we were charged for bread they brought our, and water....rexipants starts tomorrow. We come back,meet the gang and head to orientation at 6, which basically was a man telling us Americans get drunk all the time, and if we are loud past 11 we go to prison, not jail. We came back and chilled, unpacked a bit, shot the shit and, exhausted, called it a night.
