Day 4

So yesterday I did not get a chance to blog, I forget why, but who cares. I have more to share today. Yesterday we had so much fun filling out forms, paying close to a 100 euros, and waiting in a post office in Rome to get our permiso di messogiorno. I dont even know if that is the right spelling or even words. It is basically a document that says we have permission to be in the city, which I though the Visa handled that, but apparently not. So we have to stay low until we get it, incognito.


Then we met up with katie's aunt's friend's daughter, who is Italian. She actually lives kinda close to us. She showed us this great place where we can get a drink and a buffet for 6 euros, which is nice, and the drinks are really good to, not to hard, where it feels like drinking acid. nice and fruity, they way i like it. The problem was that the seeds from the passion fruit was getting in my way.

This is a picture of where we met her, which is on Via di Trilussa


And this is a picture of the place i just mentioned, it is just that theree is a lot of people in here, all around the food.


And then she took her to one of her bars that she goes to, which is a nice place. They have a lot of intertainment there and they have some food. On saturdays, they have a high schooler night, so it if filled with youngings. The drinking age out here is 16, so don't panic for any "adults" reading this.

Then later that night, around 11:30 I would like to say, we walked to the Vatican or as Katie would say it " The Pope's backyard." What is funny about this city is that there are palm trees ll over. i get mixed feelings of a modern, tropical, ancient place. I know it doesnt make sense.



After that we then headed home, but we took a minor detour, its all good. We ended up talking through this tunnel, which was actually pretty cool



Last but least we made it home. I don't know if I mentioned how many stairs we have to climb, which is like 5 -6 stories, but i feel like I am going to die everytime. This is only the first week, hopefully, i will get used to it and it won't be that bad.
