Today we had our first excursion with SAI to Ostia Antica, which is the mouth of the Tiber river, which is the main river in rome. Unfortunately the internet here is pretty difficult and is not really allowing me to upload my millions of photos I took of this historic site. Ostia Antica is a historical city right outside of Roma which is responsible for importing majority of Romes goods by shipping them 20 miles down the Tiber River. After a two hour tour of that we went to a little farm village and had the most amazing 5 course meal, starting with all kinds of bread, then moving to cheese and honey, then we ate tons of pasta, then moved to chicken and finished off with desert. I really have no idea exactly what kind of chicken or pasta or desert I was eating but it was by far the best food I've ever had.
Are aparment is showing its true self though, the first day we had heat, hot water, and fast internet. Now the hot water is gone and are apartment bathroom is leaking, the interent is slow and the heat is gone, I guess the tenet had to tease us a little bit. But besides that everything is great, Rome is fabulous, my days just consist of getting lost and attempting to speak Italian and failing miserable, which is more fun than I could imagine.
Like I said I'm trying to upload all my pictures but it is only letting me upload one at a time so bare with me.
I'll talk to you soon
