Hospitalitia Italiano (April 12th)
Apparently I always end up getting stuck writing about travel days.
Today we departed Chinque Terre and headed to Rome to hopefully meet up with our friend, Katy Bird. I say “hopefully” because we still hadn’t totally confirmed if we were staying with her or not.
No train troubles today put us into Rome around 4:30. We met up with Katy at Termini Station around 5:30 and she took us to her apartment, which she shared with two other girls, Manon and Morgan.
Let me tell you, the amount of hospitality they showed us was absolutely AMAZING! We didn’t know this, but it turns out the three of them actually shared only one room in a three bedroom apartment, but they still afforded Scott and I with a bed (at the expense of two of them sharing one bed with another friend who was staying over that night.) They cooked us pasta and let us do laundry…and they probably would’ve let us do a lot more, but we had to try to draw a line somewhere, right?
The night was spent playing drinking games and other games that were probably a lot harder due to the alcohol. One particular game, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, victimized Katy and I into having to drink a lot of Tuborg (the beer we were drinking that night). It started off with me leaving the room to go to the bathroom and then magically coming back and having to drink 24 drinks. Then Katy left the room, which I then took as an opportunity to stack the deck against her so she would have to drink 20 drinks when she got back and started dealing.
Or at least how the plan was supposed to go…
I neglected to look at a few cards in the deck and after a few moves, I was the one doomed to have to drink the 20 drinks meant for Katy. Things become a little blurry here for me, but basically everyone else passed Katy cards to make her drink and we both ended up having to “ride the bus.” (aka drink a lot of beer).
Morgan then started us on a confusing game where everyone except for Katy and I figured out the trick to it (perhaps there was a correlation between this and the amount we drank in the last game, but alas, we may never know.)
Pretty fun times.
