Roma Day 2

Today was filled with endless orientation tasks: a permit to stay, getting a cell phone, different meetings, etc. However, I was able to see the other campus which is across from the Tiber River. After the day being consumed by most of these activities my roommates and I came back to the apartment to find that our last roommate Sarah I. had arrived! Coincidentally the two Sarah's share a room. All together we went out in search of a grocery store. We crossed the river and wandered around soaking in the beautiful buildings and the different piazzas we came across. We even found large bathtub looking fountains and a group of tourist nuns. We found a very small store and were able to get a few things for the apartment. We were also on the hunt for an atm but of course the only one we found was out of order. So we decided to eat at this small pizzeria outside in the square of Campo de' Fiori where they were selling fresh flowers. The wait staff loved us and our attempts to speak Italian and even wanted to be a part of the picture. The pizza here is very thin but extremely large and delicious. After this lovely night out we returned to the apartment to finish unpacking and settling in.
