Awoken by Italian bickering and glass bottles shattering, I decided to draw at 03:00 this morning. As quiet as I tried to be, I unfortunately woke Becca and Melissa. When I came back into the room from drawing in the study, the two girls were in their beds talking. We all stayed up talking until 08:00 or so, when we fell back asleep. After catching up on our sleep, we checked out of the hotel and ventured out, in search of the Residencia Zanardelli. We wandered up and down the streets but finally discovered that the large wooden door we had passed several times was in fact the entrance. When we got up the stairs we, at last, discovered some familiar faces. Students from Rocky Mountain College were there. Ben, my flatmate for this adventure in Rome, needed to get art supplies, as he had been travelling elsewhere before Italy. So we all went out and, after getting some margherita pizza, explored the streets, looking for art supplies. Although the art store was closed, we weren't too disheartened, for merely around the corner we stumbled upon the Pantheon, completely by accident! We then got gelato and retired back to the hotel. Jim Baken, one of our professors, arrived, but the other professor and nearly half the group had not yet arrived. We waited all night. We got dinner without them and then we got back to the hotel and they finally got there! There were many various complications with their travels, but they made it!
