In and Out of Rome

Last night we went to a couchsurfing meetup in Florence, although we were unable to make a host, we did make a friend with a Chinese guy studying in Florence, and he offered to take us to the museum this morning. Since we committed we promptly left the couchsurfing party to opt for sleep. On the way home we met our friends from the bike tour. However, we didnt follow them back to the party. We got up early and met our CS friend, Enzo, at a museum, where we walked around until noon. Then we had to walk to the train station and hop on a train down to Rome. Seeing as how we had no friends to see, places to visit, or major time restraints, we booked a bungalow(Italian for a half-wide trailer) on the outskirts of town. It required jumping the subway, then city train, then camp shuttle to get here. Once arrived though we have been pleasantly surprised. It is on the banks of a river, which looks more like an industrial port than scenic white water. There are lots of campers though, and now we are having dinner and using internet in the bar. Rome is too big, and we are too fried on sights to absorb anything in the city, so this works out perfectly. Our matresses would probably not hold a malnourished boy scout above floor level for twenty minutes, but at least we have each other. And when we get home, we will have you. Love everybody, have a good weekend!
