Day 40 2/20/12
Woke up to find out I had a drip. I HATE drips! For anyone that does not know it is a nasal drip which is equivalent to a cold. Today I have the sore throat which is not horrible and I at least am able to talk with out gagging. So, I thought I wouldn’t be too happy today. After we all got ready we went to that cute little pizza place again. I got a spinach pizza which was nice because it was warm and I love spinach pizza. I realized I have been eating a lot of spinach here. Then we got on the metro to head towards the Vatkin. We got there and Jordan and Sara got in line to see the museum of the Vatakin and Shelby and Michelle and myself decided we would just check out the square. While doing so a guy came up to us and told us about this pub crawl. It was our last night in Rome and we jumped at the chance to do so. The three of us went to go find the office to buy the t-shirts. It turns out the office is by the coliseum so once again we took some more pictures by it. I should also mention that we got a t-shirt from the pub crawl. It’s a pretty nice shirt too. Then after that we went back to the hostel to chill out before heading out to the Hard rock Café at around 5:30ish. The hard rock was not bad. A bit pricy as usual and of course busy. After that we met back at the trevi fountain (all five of us) to get some gelato at this great gelato place by the fountain and then we headed on off to the pub crawl. The pub crawl was fun! The first pub I ended up getting drunk. They put in a lot of alcohol in their drinks and they had open bar for at least an hour. They even had one game. One game that I participated in was you had to be partnered with a guy (a guy and a girl had to be partners) and the girl had to get a beer can up the guy’s pants up one leg across the crotch and down the other pant leg and then they had to chug it. I was drunk at the time so everything seemed so surreal. I personally felt very awkward since I had just met the guy that night and I was beyond drunk. But there were some good laughs. The second pub I started to sober up a little bit since I did not have any drinks and it was my favorite part of the tour. They had a karaoke machine! I mentioned to one of the tour guys ( a really hot Italian guy) how I loved to sing so he was showing me where the song books were. At first I was a bit nervous that I could not find any songs that I knew and of course I was looking for at least Chain of fools. Then I finally found it and I waited for my turn. By my turn I was not as drunk as I was before and I sang it like there was no tomorrow. I think I would have made Aretha and Ottis proud. Honestly it was so much fun and it felt amazing to just belt out a song. Seriously if I could do one thing for the rest of my life it would be to perform. It is the best feeling in the world. Then I met some other girls from Canada and sang Barbie girl with them….. Yea, I was not drunk enough for that but I pretended I was. Not long after the girls I was with (Michelle, Shelby, Jordan, Sara) suggested I do Super-bass…… I can do Aretha but I sure as hell cannot do Nikki. That was a major fail but its alright I am happy I nailed Chain of Fools. Then we went to out last destination. The club. Shelby and Sara left right after we got to the club. Michelle , Jordan and I stayed for maybe 30 minutes longer. Then we decided to go to another bar with some people we met from the first pub. Ironically they happened to be Chelsea (football/soccer) fans from London. On the way there was a fountain in which Michelle decided to get into with one of the guys we were with. It was quite amusing to watch but not so much for when the guy had taken off his pants to show his sponge bob boxers only to them take that off and streak around the fountain….. Peculiar. Then we waited by the cabs for what felt like an hour to try and figure out what to do. When we did we had to get in to the cabs. Well, obviously I would be the one that had to get a cab by myself since the driver would not take more than 4 people in the car. One of the guys we were with ended up getting out and going into the cab with me which was nice. Not going to lie I was freaking out a bit since I was praying to God I was going to the same place as they Michelle and Jordan and I am also in Italy which I am not familiar with, sitting in a cab with a guy I met a few hours before and hes hammered. It was not bad and everything turned out alright. He ended up paying for my cab which was nice. Jordan, Michelle and I , and the two guys who were with us got back to the train station that was near our hostel and went into this weird pizza bar. I think they gave us some stale food for some reason. It was just a mess and around 3am we ended up going back to our hostel and calling it a night. I guess you could say it was an early morning for us.
