Maximus Decimus Meridius. 
Today pretty much was the most eventful day that we have thus far on our entire time abroad. So go grab a drink and a bite to eat because you might be here for a while.
So I’ll start with last night when I had finished writing my post in Microsoft word. For some reason I felt like it would be a great idea if walked back over to the main building from the annex. Even though it’s really only a two minute walk, it’s a really dodgy walk. It was funny because before I left, Clair and I were going through Kacie’s Rome tour guide book and it had a section in it called “places to avoid.” One of the top places to avoid in all of Rome is the Termini area after dark. Guess where we live. It rhymes with Germany. But I felt like I could handle myself and I went anyways by myself after everyone had gone to bed. About 2:30 in the morning.
In my infinite wisdom, I felt that it would be a great idea to carry my laptop in my hand as I walked over to the main building in case I could plug my laptop with an ethernet cord. So here I go walking down the street pass random strangers sitting on their mopeds just watching me. It was now that I realized this was a bad idea. It was basically like “Here I am, I have a laptop, jump me please.”
I did make it safely however. When I got in, I started getting on the computer, but then Tito (the hostel employee) was like no you cannot. Apparently people like to come back late and inebriated. If they saw me on the internet, they would most likely try to talk to me and wake everyone up. So I was like, ok this will take me two minutes, please can I just do this. He was like fine. So first I checked the weather for Jennifer. Hot. Then I tried to do the blog post, but Tito’s boss comes strolling in then starts yelling at Tito… Oops, my bad. I got him in trouble and I felt really bad. I left rather quickly and carried my laptop back to the annex. Then, I couldn’t get back into the room. I for some reason couldn’t get the key to work. So I stood outside the door for around 5 minutes before I got it right.
Everyone has been in bed for a long time by now, so I took a nice leisure COLD shower. Purely by choice, not because we don’t have any hot water. It’s so hot in our hostel. Then I was sitting in the foyer area looking over the pictures I took yesterday, in my boxers by the way, and then Tito walked in to check on the annex. It was pretty awkward. I kinda just sat there and we made eye contact for a little bit before he closed the door. Ehhh. Then I went to sleep.
So today Jennifer woke us up at around 8:30 and we got ready for breakfast. It basically consisted pieces of bread (no toaster) and jam. It was ok. Food is food. Then Jennifer, Kacie, Rebecca, Clair, Laura, and I walked over to the Termini train station to get our tickets for our return trip. Next we walked over to Palatine Hill. Now Dan and Andrew gave us tremendously useful advice. They said that if we wanted to see the Colosseum, we should go to Palatine hill first and buy our tickets there. Apparently you can buy tickets for the Colosseum at Palatine hill for a two-in-one package type deal. The line usually at the Colosseum is hours long. But if you buy them here, you can walk straight to the front. Nice.
Ruins
So we took a lot of pictures and looked for a free bathroom for a long time. I underestimated just how hot it was going to be. Roman summers are not far from Texas summers. Lots of sunshine. The sun also seems to drain you more quickly. So once we were done with Palatine hill, we decided to stop for a lunch break at snack and pizza bar. On the way there, we could see the Colosseum. I was getting really excited. Here are a bunch of pictures.
Kinda reminds me of another Colosseum we have in Austin where other games are held. The one raised side reminds me of our stadium. This side must be for the alumni gladiators.
Ham and cheese pizza. Prego!
After lunch, we walked right across the street and went right inside. Andrew and Dan were really right. The line was ridiculous. Yet we walked right up to the very front. It felt very VIP-ish.
The Colosseum. All my descriptions will be far less than adequate, but here goes.
So walking into the main arena of the Colosseum was incredible. It all seemed so surreal. I have been waiting for this moment since about the time that I decided I was going to go to Cambridge and that Rome was going to be my main side trip. I couldn’t believe how much of the Colosseum was still standing. I’ve seen pictures before, but I really had no idea it was still this much in tact.
After dinner the whole group (Lesley, Michelle, Deepa, Bryan, Michael, Travis, Me, Clair, Kacie, Rebecca, Laura, and Jennifer) all made our way to the famous Spanish Steps and Trevi fountain. Travis tends to wander off on his own and we lost him in the first minute. Literally. I have not seen the guy, but then again he is over at the main side, so hopefully he is ok. I know he is actually he can manage pretty well.
So the Spanish Steps are very interesting. It’s literally a bunch of steps, no more, no less. But on these steps there are so many vendors walking around trying to sell random stuff like flowers, or toys, or marbles that make noise, purses, belts, etc. Also, people just come to the steps to drink and have a good time. Many people bring a lot of alcohol here and just get drunk. I really liked the atmosphere of the area. It was a very diverse social area. Great for people watching.

After the steps, we headed over to Trevi fountain. We saved this for the end of the night because it looks amazing when they light it up. So we get there and again I am just floored. The fountain was massive. I didn’t really know much background about the place, but we read Kacie’s tour book. It was built in the 1700’s. Only 300 years old (which I guess is relatively young compared to everything else), but still incredible. The intricacy of the statues was really beautiful. At the center I reconized Poseidon, but that was about it. Beneath them was plain rocks, which I felt added a nice contrast to the setting.

Picture of the Colosseum from where we walked. Getting excited.
So here's a picture of one of the guys who dresses up like a Roman soldier, then tries to get you to take pics with him. Except when you do, he doesn't let you leave until you pay him. These people are getting swindled. 
Palatine Hill is basically the area where the Roman forum once stood. Some of the buildings are well preserved but most are worn away and in ruins. We didn’t have a tour guide, but we did some tour guide hopping and listened in some. Also we used Kacie’s tour book of Rome as a good source of information. Clair read it out loud as our tour guide.

It was fascinating to walk around the same columns and roads that the Romans traveled on since before Christ. I found it hard to believe that so much of it was still standing. All around us the city constantly undergoing restoration and some of the sites are a bit tainted because of the clash between authentic and replicated architecture. But I could hardly tell the difference.

It was so hot, and we were running out of water. All the vendor were outrageously overpriced. But then, there it was. The fountain of life. Not sure if it was safe to drink. Nevertheless, i had 2 nalgene's full. Haven't got sick yet. It was so delicious and cold.

We all had some form of pizza with a drink combo. Not bad. The best part was that we were eating right across the street from the Colosseum.

Kacie, Laura, not sure what they are doing.
Looking down onto the arena, I literally had goose bumps. In the picture you can see the various passage ways that stood beneath the areana floor where Gladiators, spectators, and even the Emperor could travel. Above the passage ways they placed a wooden floor where the games were held. Occasionally, the Colosseum was flooded and naval battles were held in it. Pretty cool.
I was trying to imagine what it would be like to be back in the Colosseum during the games, and I could hardly even fathom what it must have been like. Pretty much the only picture in my head is Russell Crowe versus Joaquin Phoenix dueling it out in Gladiator. 
"Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back."
Everything was so amazing, I don’t want to ruin it with my words, so instead I’ll just look at the pictures. If you want better descriptions maybe check out wikipedia.

We stayed at the Colosseum for probably a solid two and a half hours looking at ruins, taking pictures, and looking at exhibits.

As we were leaving, I noticed that people were defacing the Colosseum with chalk rocks. Who would do such a thing as to disrepect a place of such antiquity and beauty. Then I saw the answer. Only an aggie. (This is just a joke and should not be taken to heart by any of my Texas A&M friends. Hullabaloo, Caneck, CaneckHullabaloo, Caneck, Caneck.)
Then I saw this and I was immediately shamed for all the James's in the world because of one immature slip up. I retract my precious statement.
From here, we wanted to go see the fountain Kacie saw in her tour book called La Fontana delle Tartarughe.

We walked a good ways out of the main tourist areas into this quaint little square, and found this little fountain. It turned out to not be anything like we had expected. Well first if all, it was so much smaller than we had thought. It was funny because at first we had joked, ok here it is, haha. Turned out that it really was. I really enjoyed it though.

Fountain whose name I cannot pronounce.
The area was just perfect because, there were no tourists around. We were surrounded by all native Romans. The fountain was really well done too. It was built sometime in the 1580’s by a fellow whose name I forgot.

From the fountain we walked to the Tiber River to just hang out and get some gelato. For those of you who somehow don’t know what gelato is, the best way to describe is that it’s like ice cream, but creamier and absolutely heavenly. I had coconut and it was delicious. It was so good that I wanted to go to sleep. I don’t know how that correlates.

Girls + Gelato
Then we took our gelato and sat down by the river and just talked and relaxed. I started dozing off and nearly fell of the ledge a couple of times. So instead, I slept on a rock.
We were there for about half an hour or so and then we decided to go back to our hostel and eat the free dinner. On the way back, somehow Clair spotted this random tourist attraction called the Boca de Veritas or mouth of truth. It’s this sun looking sculpture that and tourists like to stick their hands in its mouth. Apparently if you are a liar, it will bite down on you hand. I was not a liar.
Then we walked all the way back to our hostel and just crashed for a good half an hour. All the walking and the sun made us all really tired and sticky. For dinner, we had some salad, pasta, and really really cheap wine. I mean dirt cheap. I had a little and it was gross. There were literally like 40 people crammed into insufficient space, all trying to get some food. But somehow we made it work. I was kinda of upset though because the hot pasta melted through the bottom of my plate and sauce got all over my shirt, but Clair luckily had shout wipes. Nice.

Now there is a legend about the fountain that was started with a movie, I think it was either Three Coins in the Fountain or Roman Holiday. The legend states that if you throw a coin with you right hand over your left shoulder backward into the fountain, it will ensure a return back to Rome at some point in your life. So Jennifer and Clair did it first. They didn't do it right. Well one, they made a wish first. Then they thre it right hand over right shoulder. They will never be able to come back to Rome. Hey it's fate. So everyone participated, me included. 
Group photo in front of the fountain.
Funny moment. So Clair and I were just sitting talking on the fountain edge when I see this Indian woman standing on the middle tier. I can tell she has a coin in her hand, so I'm like oh she knows about the legend. So I'm watching here, and this is what she did. She grabbed her coin and stared at the fountain. Then she cocked back her arm. I'm like oh gosh. Then she chunked it as hard as she could straight at the fountain directly over our heads. It splashed. Our initial reaction was to burst out laughing, which we did. She saw us and knew we were laughing at her. Then it got awkward.

Then it got awkward.While we were there, we went and got some more gelato because this afternoon’s sampling was not enough. Again coconut, delicious. 
So while we were sitting at the fountain, all of a sudden I heard lots of clapping. I turned to see what was happening, and I see this older gentleman, probably in his 50’s wading in the fountain with what looked to be a very nice and expensive suit. He was holding a box and beckoning his female companion in. I just realize how non-colloquial this is all sounding. A proposal. Right away I knew what was going on. So I whipped out my camera and got some good pics. 
This guy is an absolute stud. I was amazed. It was arguably on of the most romantic things I have ever seen, heard, or read about in my entire life. The setting was absolutely perfect. And from the looks of it, he got her a pretty hefty stone. She was ecstatic as well and said yes. Then they made out a little. I took a picture of this as well. Everyone was applauding. 
All the girls in our group were love-struck. Pretty much every little girl’s fantasy happened right then and there. This guy came up with an amazing proposal. I definitely took notes from him. We were joking around about what if someone else had planned a proposal for his girlfriend that same night and had to watch this. He must have been like what the heck am I going to do now.
The only annoying part of the entire day was the flower salesmen. I was getting extremely irritated. At one point I was talking to Jennifer and he cam eover and kept trying to get me to buy her a flower. He was like, “Buy a flower for your girlfriend, she is very beautiful. You are a very lucky man.” I was like eh.. “I think we are fine.” But he simply would not let it ago. He kept complimenting us and shaking my hand and Jennifer was like LEAVE NOW. Eventually he left. But during the guy’s proposal, the stupid flower salesmen kept trying to get the guy to buy her roses. They ruined pictures they were trying to take. OH and some of them had Polaroid cameras and tried to sell them pictures of their own engagement. Are you serious? Annoying. So after lingering at the fountain for a little longer, we walked back to the hostel.
Here I am, it’s so late, but I’m not too tired. Everything is well. I apologize for the lack of pictures, but they will be up soon, I promise. You won’t be disappointed. Tomorrow we are going to the Vatican baby. I’m going to hang out with my bud Pope Benedict the 4th. Hopefully we will get to see St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo here we come.
Arrivederci. Or however you spell it.
Post Script,
A very happy birthday wish to Kacie Hattaway. She is now 20 and got to spend her day in Rome. Congratulations Kacie.

thanks for the birthday stuff! all of it, it was wonderful :-) couldn't have asked for anything better!

One of the best things about Rome was the hundreds of drinking fountains. A lot of the water still comes from the aqueducts and was pretty cold for coming out of a fountain. Definitely a life saver while we were there.
