Today was a travel day for the Rome group and I returning to Venice. Since we travelled by train, we walked "only" about 7 miles. Before our train ride at 2:15, we visited more fountains and sculptures, which can be found at almost every intersection, square, or park in Rome.
The ride home was entertaining, both inside and outside of the train. Outside the train I watched the beautiful Italian countryside slide by at 300km/hr. We passed through tunnels and saw mountains, farms, towns and cities. There was an interesting argument between two passengers and the train employees. I'm not sure what the problem was, but nevertheless it was entertaining, an there was police ready for them at the next stop.
Next we had our weekly Maymester group dinner, with a special guest, a jet pilot that Professor Bradke knew from the Air Force. He had lots to say about a variety of topics, all interesting and informative. I ordered the rabbit stew which apparently wasn't a stew. Tastes like chicken!
