Another Country Celebrates Wildly
[tyson]
So yet again, through no special effort on our part, we've been in a country's captial city when their national team won a huge game in the World Cup. The streets of Rome erupted last night after 2 quick goals, just minutes before a shootout, put Italy into the finals. It was pretty neat to see the goal happen and immediately hear and feel a collective roar from every direction.
We've spent the morning wandering around and having no particular agenda. On our list of things to check out are the ruins of Ostia Antica (port city), AS Roma's stadium, the Ducatti/Ferrari/Lamborghini/MV Agusta factories (we'll have to se on that one), and whatever else catches our fancy.
More exciting tales to come.
