Hello! We arrived in the port of Civitavecchia today which is about an hour from Rome. Yesterday in Napless, I went to the archealogical museum which is suppose to have all of the dead bodies from Pompeii along with alot of other cool artifacts and statues from around Italy. Unfortunatly there was a minor strike yesterday so THAT part of the museum was closed. :( But it was still really neat! Then we wandered around the city a little more until it was time for the 4th of July BBQ on the boat. Celebrating your country's independence in another country is very strange. hahah but the BBQ was great. Then there was a sleepout on the boat but there were real extreme forecasts of rain and all I could think about was running down the ridge at kirkwood when a storm would catch us in the middle of the night. hahaha. So that didnt happend. But at some point - yes.
Today we got to our next por tand I said goodbye temporarily to my roommate while she meet sup with her mom for the rest of Italy. My friends and I explored the city today, meeting really nice locals, eating good food and getting in some shopping! Turning in early tonight because tomorrow I go to Rome with a Semester at Sea trip to see the Vatican City, St. Peter's Basilica, etc! Then I'll be signing off the trip to stay in Rome and meet Abby and Vanessa. From there we'll find a hostel - AHHH I'm so excited. And then I'll return to the trip the following day.
Wish me luck - I've never staying in a hostel before!
Also, I heard about the Casey Anthony trial via Breeanneallen on twitter (SHOUTOUT to my psisssy!) . Ok what the heck. Someone please email me how she got off and explain it to me because I'm considering not coming back to America. I wish Dexter was real right now.
But to end on a positive note - I cannot WAIT to see the vatican tomorrow!! And I'm finally gonna wear my jeans that I've been saving to wear so I didnt have to watch them. hAHAh
