Day 4

10:50

·         WAKE UP!!!

11:15

·         History Lesson on the Roman Colosseum and Forum giver by Professor Evers with much gusto.

12:10

·         Board the busses that were waiting for us outside JFRC and they take us down to the center of Roma. 

13:10

·         We enter into the Colosseum with our group.  Once we are inside, we are free to explore wherever.

·         The Colosseum was well…AWESOME!

14:30

·         We switched over to exploring the Roman Forum. Again we could go wherever we wanted once inside. Unlike the Colosseum, however, the Forum was really open and big, so we could actually explore all over. There were lots of cool gardens, ruins, pillars, collumns, and rubble. 

17:50

·         We returned to the Mensa for dinner. We had Pasta alla Cabonaro with bits of bacon, carrots, potatoes, fish, and fruit.

19:00

·         We spent some time organizing the pictures we had taken during the day.

20:00

·         We went back out into the city. We got large, delicious Gelato from a place called Old Bridge outside of the Vatican (for only $2), and then we ate our desserts in St. Peter’s Square. 

·         We met up with our friends Thomas and Courtney and made our way back to campus.

23:40

·         We wrapped up the night checking emails, updating blogs, talking to beautiful women (Ashley), and checking Ogame.

00:30

·         Goodnight Moon.
