Free day!

So, I can assume one of two things... 1. my blog is being weird and not letting anyone post, or 2. no one is reading/commenting on my blog because it is just THAT boring. I think I'll go ahead and assume option 1.
Anyways, yesterday we had a free day, every Wednesday we actually have free days to either catch up on homework, sleep, or explore Rome by ourselves. I decided to catch the train and go to the town over called Albano, where I shopped around and explored. It is nice, I think, how this program lets us explore, they actually encourage it, rather than sitting in the dorms behind our computer screens, or even sticking with the large group. Being independent is important to me, I like possibility of being lost, and finding my way back, because it is then when I will gain the most experiences. I learn more about the country of Italy, and even myself, when I am under pressure.
Today, we had a church visit scheduled, but because of the mass amounts of rain we received, the terminal was flooded and sewage lines were backed up. Needless to say, I stayed in Castel Gandolfo for the sake of the hygiene of my new boots, and everyone else did the same. Things happen for a reason, though; tomorrow Sarah, Catie (another girl in our group) and I are going to Greece for the weekend. Today gave us a day to catch up on homework, blogs, rest, and get our plans solidified for the weekend. I have heard that there have been recent riots in Greece due to its poor economy, I want to tell everyone not to fear! 1. I still have some residual crossfit strength left, so if there are any problems I will be sure to ward them off 2. I have two different cell phones, which are guaranteed to work. 3. We can pass for Greek, so we won’t have to resort to any of these options :) .
Alright, I am off to explore the town of Castel Gandolfo, I will not be bringing my laptop to Greece, so this means my next posting will most likely be Sunday night (Sunday afternoon for you), and will be all about our adventure to Greece… αντίο!!
