Day 102
a field trip for mike and happy hour for all
Friday, 30 April, 2004

today we got up early so that mike could meet his class at the train station for a field trip to ostia antica. its a small desserted town that used to be the ancient roman port city, back when the river and the sea met at a different place than they do now. mike got to see all sorts of ruins, kind of like at pompeii, but not as cool.

Wednesday, 28 April, 2004

school, and catching up
Monday, 26 April, 2004

Day 97
Sunday, rest and God!
Sunday, 25 April, 2004

obviously, we slept in again today. the wings game kept us out just a little late last nite.

today we planned on catching up on homework and the website, so when we finally got up and moving we went up to the school. which was closed! supposed to be open, no reason why it wasn't open, nothing posted, no signs, and when mike, enraged, called the phone number he found for the school, they claimed they didnt even know that the school was supposed to be open, and was agitated that mike was distracting him from the jcu soccer tournament which was much more important than academics for the weekend!

Saturday, 24 April, 2004

DAN BROWN SUCKS!
Friday, 23 April, 2004

so today we planned on running around rome. becuase we are big dorks, and like strange things, we happened to realize that many of the things that we wanted to see today happened to conincide with different monuments and things in our new favorite book angles and demons.

WARNING:
if you have not read the book and would not like any of the plot revealed read no further. this is your only warning!
