So I went down and let in two sweaty, red faced travelers each carrying a backpack that was bigger than me.
I showed them the room, and then we headed to St. Peter's to pick up our bus/metro passes and get a little more acquainted with the city.

I'm so excited to have them in my timezone for a little while. 😇
After a lunch of pizza (we did the cliche thing) we headed toward Plaza de Spanglo to see the Spainish steps. They were under renovation, so we didn't walk on them, but we saw them. So I guess we checked that off the list.

Then we wandered around some more and found ourselves in the high end shopping district. Talk about out of place 😂 There were brand names every where we looked: Prada, Tiffany & Co., Gucci...
After a brief stop back at the room, he headed over to Trastevere to meet up with Kayla (she's been here studying for the past six weeks).

| We found her :) |
She and her friends took us to the Jewish Ghetto (not my term... Everyone here calls it that) for some fried artichokes. They were delicious.

| Fried Artichoke. Actually really tasty. |
Then gelato (of course...)

| Blake obviously didn't like hers |
Then came the EXCITING part. We went to the hospital... Everyone is fine! But Blake and Laura had some kind of rash on their legs and we didn't want that to haunt the whole trip, so we decided to go to hospital. After two shots of cortisone and antihistamine in the butt, we are back at the Airbnb for cold showers and bed. Tomorrow is a big day.
We survived our first day. Just barely.
