Soccer/Futbol/Calcio

Week One Calcio: SUCCESS
My team - Team Chocolate - Lost
We had 5 or 6 girls on my team of 12 that had NEVER been on a soccer field before...
I came away with some sore muscles, large bruises, and a huge adrenaline rush.
Calcio at the JFRC is not to be taken lightly.
Weekly newsletters are published- filled with trash talk,
Mensa (the cafeteria) plays pump-up music before the games,
And the professors that play are just as bad as the students.
Our game was very aggressive, I'll take pictures next week.

Just ordered tickets (they're free) to the Vatican's Easter Vigil
and Good Friday services. Should be sweet.
Tonight = exploring downtown and then..
Saturday's a rugby day.
Tomorrow will be filled with watching 2 rugby games supposedly
with everyone that's sticking around this weekend and a couple professors.

The Super Bowl doesn't start here until Midnight,
so rumors are buzzing that the JFRC may play it here.
Boring update so here are a few pictures from the last few weeks:

The group at the top of the Duomo in Florence ^^
In the middle of the Forum
Walking to the Colosseum - you can spot my red jacket a mile away
Two more pics from our Hadrian's Villa day trip

Love from Roma,

p.s. I definitely purchased fabric softener instead of detergent..
At least my clothes smell good, right?
