El 15 de marzo: The ides of March!

WE MADE IT TO ROME! HOLY COW!


While Tom and Bob ran back inside to get a sketchbook left in the terminal, the rest of us chilled in our personal van-cab! This led to one of the craziest car rides of my life--and I was already sick this morning! We dropped our stuff off at the hotel and headed to Campo de Fiore to catch the tail end of the Rome students' jury. Stanley gave us a brief overview of the project then I peaced out with Vikki for a walk to her apartment, then back to the apartments at Campo to get Adam and some other kiddos for dinner at L'Ensalata Rica.
Afterwards...what else is there to do on the Ides of March in Rome? TOGA PARTY, CLARO!


Tom, wearing his Care-bear-esque Toga!


The Laurens and myself! So classy!
Bri y yo-practically the same as Ancient Romans, no?

HAHA-These are the hardcore, Caesar's assasins type of Romans...Benja y Spiro

...what can I say? typical Duffy, confusing Rome with Sparta, apparently

Mo, Amy, and Adam showing off their ridiculous arm muscles...just in case the BCN kids decided to get rowdy!

Roomies for life-Conster and me!
Aww, chiquitas romanas! Me, Mo, Vik, and Amy!

Benja, enjoying a game of cards with the Italian teacher and co.

Tomas y Conster, all Toga-ed out!
So, we made it through...and we're in ROMA! Hopefully every day will be this fun, even after the Rome students leave Friday morning. I'm insanely jealous that they live in an apartment building full of students--some of the other students came down to the toga party, and seemed like cool kids. Luck of the draw I guess!
