Since Rome

Well friends,

I last left you after I went to the Colosseum, much has happened since. I'll give you the highlights

Florence-

We were in Florence at the same time as the TV show known as " the Jersey Shore." We actually didn't end up seeing them, but EVERYONE ELSE that we were with did. The beginning of that night we were with some FSU students who ended up seeing them later. ( But we left to find our hostel roomates before then) and then When we went to go find the FSU'ers again, our hostel roommates saw Jersey shore. So oops. But yeah.... The best part of that night was me falling over. After 2 bottles of wine, I thought it would be a great idea to run quickly through small holes. ( Brandon and another FSU'er were walking close together, so I attempted to jump through them) As I passed them, with infinite glory and a large smile I tripped over my foot. I fell. My hand and left knee hit first. To my suprise, the co-eficcient of friction on the pavement in Florence is rather low, so I slid. First onto my side and then onto my rump. I was so shocked by this that I actually did a full sit up while sliding. The total linear distance I traveled was about 15 feet. I came out with 5 bruises and 3 scabs... and a hole in my pants. Oops, but it was hilarious.

So that story was rather uneventful.

Next- Brandon and I go fossil hunting, we found ancient clams!!!!

Next- I learn about myself. I learn that adrenaline can keep me awake for SO long. I was asleep for 12 of the last 48 hours. I saw Manon, at the Staatsoper Wien ( Vienna Operahouse) for 4 Euro=6dollars. and an Incredible Ballet choreographed by Jerome Robbins with music by Philip Glass and Chopin.

I had quite a bit of fun observing how women perceive my dancing at dance clubs. Brandon was in sick so I did my best impression of crazy legs in his memory. There were several cute girls who would look over, giggle (their German giggles) and then catch themselves giggling at something SO repulsive as a socially outcast dancer, and then scoff and look away. Of course I would find them once again shortly after. This was an interesting phenomena that occurred throughout the night.

ugh. This post is surprisingly uninteresting. I'll try again later. there are many more stories that are just escaping me now. However. I promise that they will be great.

Next up.

Josh poops his pants walking home at 6 in the morning..... about that.

Almost,

Josh
