Trip Cancelled

So due to a sciopero (strike) by transportation drivers in Rome, the train to Firenze (Florence) was cancelled... We all packed last night, took our packs to the UWRC before our 9 am tour of ancient Rome, then returned 4 hours laters to head to Stazione Termini. Our ticket confirmation numbers didn't work at all and we found out our train was not running. It's a complete bummer, especially after such an incredibly long day. We'll just have to try to go another weekend - afterall, our biglietti are still valid for another 2 months for the same day and time.

Other than that, today was amazing! We walked up onto the most important and oldest hill in Rome, Palatine Hill. There we saw Il Foro, L'arco di Tito, La Strada Sacre, and so much more. Pictures to follow. 

That's it for now. I just wanted to do a quick update. Now it's nap time until we go out and check out some bars by the Spanish Steps.
