I was wandering around with no destination in particular in mind, just exploring. I was listening to my ipod not really paying attention to the people who passed by when I found my self on a random alley. I passed by two guys walking down the road without a tce hought and then I heard someone call my name. Weirded out, I turned slowly around and who whould be there but Grayson, a guy I met at Scavi last year!
bizarre. I had only noticed that he was in Rome when I checked facebook earlier in the evening and he had uploaded pictures of Rome (he was 3 feet away from the pope)
so since neither he and his friend David nor I had any plans for the evening we decided to wander togather. (theoretically in search of food)
we meandered towards the Castel St Angelo and passed by a cart selling bulk candy. 7 euro later supper was had. we sat in front of the tiber and ate candy - such a Roman culinary experience...
with regretful stomaches we then marched to the Vatican and then to the Colosseum where we sat while strange indian men tried to sell us souvenir junk (and succeeded: Grayson bought a spinning light up toy after David bargined it doen from 5 to 2 euro)
he then played fetch with some kids with it. It was adorable.
at 11:30 we decided to call it quits but since Katie and Jen were getting in today to rejoin Scavi, I exchanged numbers and we made plans to meet up as a group the next day.
