Due

So Fridays here are allotted for traveling, no school, just checking out what there is to see in Italy. This past Friday our class went to Pomeii, it was a 2 hour bus ride there and back but since we took a charter bus is was not bad at all. We stayed the whole day at the ancient ruins, which even dates back to before the city of Rome. Thanks to Mt. Vesuvius the whole city was covered in ash and was preserved and forgotten about for 1600 years. So today is in pretty good condition considering how old it is. The water was nearby but we didn't get to stop, sadly. Yesterday we went to an AS Roma futbol match. They were playing Sienna and won 1-0. It was a pretty good game and hopefully won't be our last one. The fans were crazy if you can imagine. And there were security guards lined everywhere around where Sienna's fans were sitting, I guess things can get pretty out of control.
