2/9/08

Today Lauren and I slept in until an embarrassingly late time, and then headed over to a park about a mile away to walk and run around. I realized I forgot my running shoes, so I had to power walk in Uggs… It was quite a site. The weather was perfect today, probably about mid-sixties and bright and sunny. Afterwards we walked over to Sam and Johns, and enjoyed some wine and Caprise salad. Tom trekked all the way from Trastevre to Bologna to meet up with us for dinner, and we ate at a small place across from our apartment. We started to discuss plans to visit Switzerland, and although Tom doesn’t ski, he is going to join us because he has what he calls FOMO. (Fear of missing out.) We all have been inflicted with this, so I think we will be traveling a lot together. Ethan is a ski instructor, so hopefully he will join us and give us all a much-needed refresher course on the Alps.
After dinner we went back to Trastevre (way across the city) and met up with Jess at a couple of bars there. Lauren, John, Sam, and started to head back around 2, and got very, very lost in the ancient city. Somehow we made it on foot from Trastevre, across the Tiber, and all the way to the Coliseum, but we were then stuck in a bunch of ruins with no cabs and no idea where we were. Luckily we found a night bus and hopped on and arrived back home at around 4. It was quite an adventure—getting lost here is very fun actually, and we’d know, it happens a lot.
