Long day
Dana and I did a whole lot of walking today. Most of that was because we couldn't read the stupid map and ended up taking a very roundabout way to get to the school (but we know where we're going now!), then tonight we ended up walking around a lot of the city with a couple guys from our program, Mario and Tommy. No long entry for today. I do want to comment on the fact that Rome is a gorgeous city but there is grafitti EVERYWHERE. I live in Trastevere - a nice residential neighborhood - and there's grafitti all over all the buildings here. It's literally everywhere. I can't even tell if the city makes any effort to clean it up. Thankfully some of the older buildings or Rome's architectural treasures aren't covered in it, but it's really just everywhere. It can be odd when you're used to grafitti as the mark of run-down neighborhoods.Today's pictures...
Part of a random fountain. I think this one was from Piazza Navona. It might be one of Bernini's fountains, but I'm not sure. I'll get better at keeping track of what I take pictures of eventually. Obviously this was taken at night. A better daytime picture will be posted eventually...when we get back there in the daytime.
And here we have a lovely view of Dana's and Mario's backs. Actually, I just thought the way the streetlamps reflected off the wet cobblestones was really cool.

Hi Stacey! I hope everything is going well for you in Italy! Just so you know, keep an eye out for guys that will hit on you by yelling from ambulances with their sirens going. That happened to me! :) Enjoy yourself!
I am going to keep reading this blog! I miss Italy so much.
