August 8, Before leaving Rome

8/8 This morning we got up and packed up and dropped off the keys at the Hostel desk. We headed out to burn the hours until our train leaves at 3:45. We walked down to see the Pantheon, and we're certainly glad we had time to fit that in, since we'd intended to swing by several times but never did. Entrance was free, which is always nice, so we spent a few minutes wandering inside. Afterwards we sat in the shade by the fountian outside for a long time, ate a small gelato and rested. Then we made our way back to Termini Station. We found a supermarket on the way to the pantheon as well, which was great, we bought bread and honey and some snacks; we'll be sure to pick up more substantial food at another stop, but once back at termini we had a little picnic and I read a book while Christian pretended to be asleep. While filling our water bottles Christian even got to give directions to a spanish speaking woman, so that's cool. Right now I'm writing this on wordpad because there's no internet here at this McDonalds, where we are charging our electronics and moving pictures onto the compy from the camera.
