Day 1
... ground when the three ladies attack us. :) It was tiring but fun! First run through with some of the people in the Mikado scene I'm doing went well, and after lunch we start Suor Angelica. So far, things are going really well, and I'm still in shock that I'm actually here. I'm going to try to post once a day, but I can't make any promises. I miss everyone back home, and I love you all! ...
Rooman reissu osa1
Havahduin tuossa viime viikolla töissä, että niin se aika vaan menee nopeesti. Tai itseasiassa Mikko rupes jotain puhumaan, että aattele säki olit sielä Italiassa pari kuukautta sitte. Juu, niinhän se tosiaan on... Nopeesti on tämä(kin) kesä menny! Mutta jos sitä nyt vihdoin sais tännekin muutaman Rooma kuvan... ;)
Matkaanhan lähdettiin jo toukokuun puolella 30.5. Pakkaaminen jäi taas viime tinkaan ja käytin siihen aikaa ainakin 15min. Noh, aika hyvin taitaa homma ...
Turned lemons into Lemonade!

Rusty, Michelangelo & The Pope walk into a Bar
... and birds chirping, how good is life?. We jumped on the bus again and headed for the Colosseum, I was reciting bits of Gladiator the whole way, Kat just kept rolling her eyes as I told her " would have my vengeance, in this life or the next" (god what happened to Russell Crowe) We really had a great time wandering around, we read so much about what went on, the ground must be soaked in the blood of the lost gladiators, no amount of rain could wash away ...
Oh what a day!
... but it appears to date from around 600 BC.
So that was the morning, and what a morning! After all that lunch was definitely in order.....so we all did the usual, pizza al taglio. Now the afternoon will be spent reading, blogging, printing handouts and generally getting ready for tomorrow. And that's right, we have several hundred pages of reading to do each week in addition to these insane jaunts around the city!
