\nFirst of all the people that I have met so far.\u00a0 There was the doctor from mass, there was a nice Australian couple.\u00a0 There were three co-ed\u2019s from England, another group of guys from Australia and a bunch of people from the states.\u00a0 NYC, LA, and others.\u00a0 The Marriott tends to attract a lot of Americans\u2026 I think I need to branch out.
\nToday was hot.\u00a0 I sweat a lot, but I did the hop-on hop-off thing again.\u00a0 I hopped off at St. Peters Square and climbed MANY steps to the copula.\u00a0 It was the very top of the cathedral and the steps were the nastiest steps I have ever stepped on.\u00a0 You have to see those pictures.\u00a0 The\u00a0 wall in the stairway are actually tilted and the last set of steps actually have a vertical rope hanging acting as a hand rail\u2026\u00a0 it was cool.\u00a0 Going down on the ancient steps\u2026\u00a0 if you slipped, you would keep falling a very long time.\u00a0 One of the\u00a0 American, Marriott people told us on the bus that some woman actually had two inch heels doing this\u2026\u00a0 not to smart!
\nAfter some refreshments I hopped back on the bus and had to do the Coliseum.\u00a0 I did the audio tour so I could move up in the line.\u00a0 The audio tour was not good.\u00a0 It was not clearly marked; it took me forever to find the steps.\u00a0 Oh well, it was pretty cool.
\nI was really smart today.\u00a0 I geo-tagged the picture of where the bus dropped us off.\u00a0 This way I was actually able to find it all by my self\u2026\u00a0 good thing because there is no one here to help :>
\nI booked my train to Pisa using the kiosk, I took the metro several time and did not get lost once.\u00a0 I am going to Pisa tomorrow at 13:00.\u00a0 I took the faster train.\u00a0 I am not sure if I will stay overnight or not.\u00a0 I found a small hotel 400 meters from the tower so it is an option.\u00a0 I still am not sure how to get from Pisa to Barcelona via ferry.\u00a0 I like the ferry for some reason.
\nI was goofing off and watching volleyball in the lounge and not blogging\u2026 oops\u2026
\nTime to pack and drag all of my stuff around tomorrow.\u00a0 I am not sure if I will sight see or maybe hang at the pool for a while\u2026\u00a0 tough call\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
