It was hard to sleep the first night because we were so excited and because our beds and pillows are horribly uncomfortable. Early the next morning we braved the Roman public transportation system and traveled 45 minutes by bus to the location of our school in order to leave for an orientation trip in Umbria. After a 4-hour bus ride we arrived in Perugia and toured the village. After dinner all 150 of us infiltrated the small town equipped with only a few bars. It was Carnivale that night, so we stuck out not only because we were an enormous group of Americans, but because we were the only people not wearing masks. The whole group bonded drinking Peroni on the steps of the Duomo.
