Roma

We've now been in Rome for about one day and will be walking around the Colosseum and ancient city center today, taking in all the ruins and art. And besides the fact that it is over 90 degrees F here, the city is really something special. (I will post pictures and everything once I get to Edinburgh and can access a computer that doesn't have Italian letters on it.)

The hostel we're staying at is called Rome City Hostel and is a little out of the way, but really a great place. Last night, all 15 of us that are staying here sat down for homecooked pasta and wine made by our English host. After that, we all went out for drinks at a local pub. Coke and Amaretto with a French couple, beer and politics with a Brit and an aussie, and free food. Doesn't get much better.
