Day 4 - January 28th 2009 Rome, Italy

We moved out of the hotel today and into our luxury apartments located on Via Trastevere, in Trastevere Rome. The building has great terraces overlooking the street below and is mostly made up of API students. There are 8 of us in the Lorenzo de’Medici program and the other 80 or so are all John Cabot university students. My roommate is Nick from Pittsburgh. The first thing you notice upon sitting on the twin bed is you are not in the land of squishy sleep anymore. I’d give this thing about 1 1/2 inches of padding max. I seem to sleep fine on it so not really a problem but I imagine some would find it a little too stiff? The rest of the afternoon was uneventful, we made pasta dinner down in the girls apartment below and sat around shooting the breeze. We took a short cruise around Trastevere to see what it was like at night, nothing special was the conclusion. I grabbed a media card reader from the Chinese store across the way (it’s really just a dollar store but its unofficially referred to as the Chinese store because thats the nationality of the man who owns it) So I was able to upload pictures finally and get them onto Flickr so all you wonderful people reading this can visually follow along too! Hurray for pictures! Everyone was very tired from the move in so I watched a flick on the computer and promptly went to bed.
