Athens/Rome Transition

Yesterday, I turned my final exam in and went off to spend one last day in the city. The strike was lifted, so I went to check out the Kerameikos Museum. It contained a lot of very cool funerary reliefs and vases which were placed on top of the graves. Then, I went home to do laundry and pack. That evening, we had a group dinner at a very nice restaurant with Daphni. She ordered food after food, and we just stuffed our faces. Afterwards, we went out to end Athens the right way; at the Gazi clubs! Today, we piled up into the bus and left for the airport. Our flight to Rome was about 1.5 hours. After we arrived sometime late in the afternoon, the guys checked out our new home and got situated. We had to move a bunch of furniture around, and it turned out quite comical. Let's just say someone got a table stuck diagonal in the doorway in mid-air. Anyway, it was eventually time to go to Rome's orientation dinner. The restaurant we visited may have provided me with the best meal I had ever eaten. Between the pasta, the wine and the ice cream, I thought I was in heaven. Having left the restaurant very content, we hung out for a little bit until it was time to get some rest. We are going to Vatican City bright and early tomorrow morning!
