Got off the train at 11am and we hit the ground running. Ran into some trouble at our BnB, or our first BnB. The woman thought she had a room for the night even though she couldn't find the keys. After fighting with her brother she gave us her keys and we walked, bags in hand, across the street, up the stairs and in the miniature elevator, only to open 3 separate doors, which were all filled with other people's belongings. We had to trek all the way back to the woman, wait for her to realize she made a mistake and then spend the next 15 minutes on the phone trying to find us a new place. We finally end up about a 5 min walk away. After getting settled we hit the town. We are 2 minutes away from the Vatican. We went to Trevi fountain and St. Peters square, the Pantheon and more. Every time you turn a corner a masterpiece is awaiting you. I feel like a junky trying pump this towns history through my veins.
We ate and drank the night away. After a really intense game of beer pong (don't know when this became an international sport), a beer pong tattoo, a cool Aussie who surprisingly dropped the N-bomb, some new friends and the comfort of hookah, we finally made it back to the room and knocked out until the next afternoon. Now that's what I call a welcome wagon.
