Laurel, Josh, and Jessica’s Excellent Adventure

Last night after dinner, Laurel, Josh, and I decided to be adventurous. We got a bus and jumped off at a random stop. However, it ended up not being very adventurous because the bus only went straight, and we were still in Trastevere, the part of town where our hotel is. So, we decided to go back to the Trevi Fountain. The Trevi Fountain is beautiful at night, and we did the traditional throwing the coins over our shoulder into the fountain. After we walked around for awhile, we tried to go home. However, we ended up getting on the wrong bus, and we rode around Rome on the bus for about 45 minutes. After we got off, it was after midnight, and all the busses had stopped running. We had to walk the rest of the way home.

Luckily, I was with two other people, or else I would have been scared out of my mind. I’m not that adventurous, so I guess this is my one adventure of the trip, besides the boat ride, of course.

We’re starting to wrap things up here in Rome. We have a few more days here, but everyone is trying to finish up their projects. Tomorrow we are visiting the AP bureau, and we are going to Florence on Saturday. Other than that we’re on our own to go do last minute things that we want to do before leaving. The only other things I want to do are go to a mass (which I think a few of us are going to on Sunday), and shopping.
