1st full day in rome

today started off well. i woke up around 7 a.m. and updated this blog, before heading to the supermarcato with alec. the supermarcato is located across from the pantheon. it was a little chilly out this morning, but i hear that it won't last. we got back and tony arrives at the appartment and we go to the collegio ramano so i can get a pair of keys that actually work (the night before i came home and wanted to try my keys only to find out that i had two outside door keys so i couldn't get into the apartment). after getting the keys we met up with angel and katelin at the collegio. we then went to the studio were we checked to see if alec and frank's luggage had arrived. it hadn't so they are on day three of the same clothing. by the time we had returned everyone else had arrived (zak, zach, trevor, and nick). we all went back to the supermarcato and bought some groceries. everyone seemed to end up with similar items milk, cereal, pasta with sauce, and wine. after returning to the apartment tony, katelin, angel, reid, and i set off to find as roma tickets. we found a shop that sells them but they don't actually sell them until days before the game. after we found the shop we went looking for cellphones and ended up back at the studio where niki and adrianna were at the computers. niki was waiting for her baggage and adrianna was on the floor sleeping. after talking with them we looked for cellphones to no avail. by this time we were pretty hungery and ate at a shop called buono. in the shop i was asked if i was chinese. i answered no, he then asked if was from hong kong. i answered i was american, but i knew he wanted to know my nationality. so i told him i was korean. he then proceeded to speak to me in korean, i ignored him. i ate two slices of pizza, tony had some pasteries, and angel and katelin had sandwiches that were a little burnt. actually there sandwiches were black (bwahahaha). after lunch we decided to go to angel and katelin's. we walked past capitoline hill the colosium, and then into the forum. after our little adventure we made it to their apartment which i think was on the sixth floor. they gave us a tour of their place and then we went on the roof. i almost died walking up and back down. after spazzing out on the roof we walked to amanda's apartment. as we were walking to her place through a park (we were trying to find a short cut) on the ground were dirty needles and dog crap. when we arrived at amanda's we took a short tour and were on our way. later that night we had people over and they drank wine. lots of wine. we then went out for gelato and ate it on the steps of the panetheon. reid then tried to do handstands in front of the pantheon. he got an applause from the crowd. we then returned to the apartment where we got the soccer ball where tony, reid, scottie, and i went out into the streets and attempted to juggle the ball. a woman open her window and started to yell so we moved to an open square. after that we went to bed.
