Rome day 1

one more country, one òore keyboard system to learn...

this will be quick...i only get 15 minutes!

last night-night train with a girl from Ghana and Nigeria studying in Paris who 10 min into our trip randomly found a friend she hadn't seen in 4 years. They talked long into the night in some incomprehensible mixture of english french and some other local language.

We also had a random Arab guy who said nothing and stared straight ahead the entire time. Wa he annoyed at all the noisy girls? was he a terrorist who was going to murder us in our beds? apparently not. he said goodbye to us quite amicably

at 3 in the morning italian customs officers invaded our car, scolded one girl for not having her passport, searched the other ones bags, asked her if she was going back to Nigeria (with her french student visa).

our hostel is nice, the environs are nicer, were right by la piazza della republica great fountain. had most of a mass at saint peters after adventures getting there, saw saint peters square by moonlight. unforgettable.

ate best pizza ever fresh mozzarella arugela best tomatoes in the world.
