Rome is amazing. I've been around a little bit - just what I can see within walking distance. The Colosseum, a few ancient ruins, and the Trevy Fountain. It's all quite amazing.
Italy went crazy when they won the World Cup. I've never seen partying like this before. It felt like it was the end of a war - people marching in the streets singing, cheering, yelling, and waving flags. It was amazing, completely different than anything I've ever expirienced.
Tonight was ridiculous. The Italian team came back to the country tonight, down the main street of Rome, which happened to be where I was. I hopped on top of a random person's scooter so I could see. It was something else. Once again I liken it to soldiers coming back at home. People were singing and dancing, champagne was sprayed - any extreme expression of happiness you can imagine, it was happening tonight. As the bus rolled past thousands of people streamed after it, cheering and singing as they went.
As of now, I'm exhausted. I wouldn't be surprised if this entry is neither well written nor coherent. So apologies. Hope everyone's well at home, wherever home may be.
