I had breakfast at the hotel. I had granola and corn flakes with milk. a croissant with nutella, and coffee.
We met up for the tour at 8am. We first went to the Vatican Museum.

At night we had everyone over in my hotel room for a "pregame" but really we just all hung out. We had music playing and everyone sat on the various beds. We played never have I ever and kings. Then some of us went to the same bar as the previous night. We grabbed three small tables and I sat down on a bar stool at a table in the corner. Some people went to get drinks so I ended up alone. This guy and his friend came up to me and we started talking. He was half Italian, half Israeli. I told him about an Israeli band I liked. We talked for a while when a fight broke out in the bar (yikes!). He left shortly after that. I then sat at a different table and talked to so members of my group. Some drama went down that I won't get into. Then I met some more Italian guys. They came up to me asking where I was from. Apparently they had see me from across the bar and placed a bet about where I was from. The one guy had guessed England or America and the other thought I was Canadian. I talked to them for a while before I left the bar with my friends. More drama ensued when I got back to the hotel and it ended up being a long night. One girl from my program was crying in the hall while a few others of us trying to console her. We moved into my room so I didn't end up in bed until 4 or 5 am.
