Bus Rides in Rome Buses aren't free, and if you're caught, it's a 50 euro fine.
Having said that, they rarely check (but they do check the tourist runs often - another shake-down for the yankee dollar).
Once you get a ticket, (now even frm machines on board), you have to TIMBRARE - punch it in a different machine altogether. It's an honour system, but very few people honor it!
It's another form of socialism at work, as rarely do people pay for their rides.

Wow, those pictures are so beautiful! I'm glad to hear that you've mastered the strategy of just guessing where to go--that's the best way to do it! ;)
That's so great that you have a beach 15 MINUTES from campus. :) I bet you'll miss that when you come back.
Since you talked about the traffic lights in Scotland, I thought I would share this story with you of what I taught Teddy. :)
Whenever we are driving around (to the Sports Center or Children's Museum), I have been trying to teach him what the colors of the traffic lights mean. Well, this past week he has caught on. Red means STOP, Green means GO, and Yellow (my favorite) means GO FAST! :)
I thought you might enjoy that! Take care my dear!
words oh girl... Brilliant was my fav word to pic up from the brits when i was deployed and working with them! and ask how they pronounce aluminum... =)
green bay packers? i've already met a few people who had never heard of the packers... in chicago! (for some reason, i think it was on the band trip in senior winds...)
miss you! i'm praying for you!
ps. i have skype too!
I suggest you sit in the very front row of that HUGE lecture hall Yellow. :) If the doors are only in back of the lecture hall, then I advise you sit in the very back row. For safety purposes. :)
Yay! I am so glad to read that you made it there safely! :) I love your list of the first 10 things you learned. They made me laugh out loud at the Front Desk and look like an idiot. But, that's okay. :) I miss you!!!!
Near the end of January, I will begin a semester abroad in Scotland. I will be there for around 5 months, studying and traveling. I hope to see all that I can and make the most of my experience with the most memories.... full info
