Today was the first day that we all got to meet each other. Jared met me outside my little apartment first thing this morning and we took a taxi over to Penn States class space in the middle of the city center. After we picked up our room keys we headed down to Via De Parassio and met our other 3 roommates, Dom, Bryan, and Cole. We decided that taking a nap would be the best thing considering they had just arrived earlier this morning. After our 4 hour naps, we cleaned up and headed out to our second real Italian meal. Pizza and wine. That’s what the meal included. Nothing like a real Italian Pizza! After that we started walking down Vial de Trastevere and happen to run into 4 other Penn State students. It was Allisons 21st birthday so we decided to head down to try and find a bar to grab a drink with her. To no avail, Rome is not the town to go out for a drink on a Monday night. We eventually found a little bar and ran into a few other American students from just outside Seattle. After a few drinks we walked back to our apartment in the rain, and just hung out and planned where we wanted to travel on our three-day weekends. Tomorrow we have our orientation meetings and eventually grocery shopping for the first time! Should be interesting…
