Eric's Blog: Rome

Due to the high demand, Eric Olson, will be doing a blog for today. I may make some stuff up since I was not present in all of the events and have trouble remembering the specifics of what i was told.

Chapter One: Girls Night Out

It was a hot and humid evening in Rome on July 8th, 2010. Amanda and Mollie, sisters, decided to take on the historical streets of Rome for an evening of excitement and adventure! Eric, their companion while in Rome, was back at the hostel catching up on some sleep he lost the previous night.

Their evening began in a majestic garden called "Villa Borghese". Here they froliced and sang beautiful songs in hopes of grabbing the attention of any Italian men with a soft ear close by. None came.

Truely dissapointed they wanted something to cheer them up. Gelotino would be the only thing that could release them from their sorrow. The first placed they saw they liked, but it was too expensive, the second place they liked even more, but it was also expensive, the third place was grand, cheap, and just perfect! But unfortunately Mollie bought hers at the first one and Amanda bought hers at the second one and both were too full and cheap to buy any from the third place they found.

They were not too distraught by this, because they were girls, and when girls are fed or recieve candy/ice cream, they are always merry!

After this they continued their exploration of the Roman city, this continued to a old castel called "Castel Sant Angelo". Here they hoped to find a couple of princes in hopes to be able to wed. Sadly reality hit them like a lighting bolt from the Roman God Jupiture, the girls realized that they were crazy because it is 2010 and the castel is now a museum. So they must wait and move on with empty hearts....tear.

The night continued for them in the "Pizza Novona", here was a time of great festifivties! Music was playing, people were drinking, dancing, and laughing, this was all taking place around the grand "Four Rivers" fountain. Surely here, they would find the men they have been looking for!
As they begin walking through the court, well dressed men would approach the ladies left and right. "This is terrrific!" they thought. They would flirt back and move on only to be approached almost instantly again. These girls are no dumbies though. They began to notice that each man whom approached them has had a menu in hand. At first they thought they may have wanted to buy them dinner. The girls just had their Gelotino and were not interested of course. Then it clicked...these men were not dashing gentlemen trying to treat them to a fine meal, but waiters trying to persuade them to eating at their establishments. The girls were terribly offended and left immediately!

Both girls are now terribly angry, their entire night devoted into finding their true loves had been a failure! But according to each, it was they other sisters fault. They begin their walk back home fighting at eachother and discussing who is the fairer lady and most deserving of a man's love. They arrive at "Michelangelo's Stairway" and decided to end this once and for all! "A race to the top of the staircase," they exclaimed, "the winner will be considered the more worthy lady of a man!".

It was set. They girls began their climb, step by step they two were in syncronized motion. Sweating, pants, tears appeared in the ducts of their eyes. Finally, one of them reached the top first!....

I never found out who won, I will tell you later

The girls then came home and went to bed after an exhausting evening.

Eric very much enjoyed is evening nap, eating his cheese and crackers while watching Erin Brockovich.
