Roma!

January 26,

Ciao! Last night was our first night out in Roma. Twenty (I'm not exaggerating) of us went to dinner at a restaurant in Campo de Fiori. That could be spelled wrong; my Italian spelling is sub par at best. The restaurant gave us a student discount: one meal, one drink, 10 euro. Half way through our meal, a bartender came over to the table and told us about Sloppy Sam's next door. Side note, his name was Zach- how weird would it be to go through life with a z in your first name, not to mention a capital Z? Too weird. He was a cutie from Cali and said all shots would be 2 euro... Okay, twist my arm, I'll go.

Before we left dinner our newly found Italian friends, Michelangelo and Federico, bought us a bottle of Prosecco. Well played boys. Sloppy Sam's, or Slam's, was fun and deserves extra brownie points because there was an American flag on the wall. The night ended at the club Mood. The club scene is new to me- overwhelmed is an understatement. The lighting, music, and mobs of people "dancing" were a little sketchy at first but we got over it quickly and joined the party seamlessly! Eh, I don't know if seamlessly is the right word to describe 20 American girls in an Italian nightclub. Either way, it was a great start to the trip and we had a fabulous night... with the headache to prove it in the morning.
