New Friends (Alaskan Style)

So, our hostal choice in Rome was great. It was called Alessandro Downtown. The room we stayed in was a mixed-sex room with 8 beds. We met the Polish girls the first 2 nights. Then the last 2 nights we met these 2 crazy kids: Chris and Brian. They're from Alaska, and they took a semester off school to travel the world. They started in China, then Egypt, India, Europe, then they'll finish in the Bahamas and the States. Totally jealous! But we hung out with them all day at the Colosseum and then that night. As you can see from the picture, we played a very classy game of speed quarters with 3 euro boxed wine. As it turns out, I was not exactly on my A-game that night, so I drank a little more than the rest. Anyway, after that we decided to wander the streets of Rome until we found Campo di Fiori (the night spot of Rome, along with the Spanish Steps). Chris (the blond one w/out the hat) brought his iPod, so he and I each had an earpiece. Drunk iPod singing through the deserted streets of Rome is what ensued next. Our 2 favorite songs that night to belt out were none other than Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" and JoJo's "Get Out." Classy and trashy. I love it. Also, we rocked out to some hard-core Brian McKnight. Hilarious. Good times had by all.
