So, we naturally get lost everytime we try to find our hostel. And by lost, I mean that half the signs are in English which throws us off when it's not.
We got into the hostel at 12:30 this morning and some of the guys in our room left at 5:30 so when we woke up the second time at 9:50, it didn't seem too weird. I had literally crawled into bed with all of my clothes on and only took off enough to fall asleep cause I had no idea who would be there when I woke up... I must say, 30+ hours with little sleep accumulates a lot of grime and sleepiness, ugh, lol
Today, once we got going we walked until we found this site which turned out to be Hadrian's Arch. From there we scoped out the map and decided to take the Metro to the National Archaeology Museum which was good. Allan was right, the Metro is a mini museum with different artifacts that they found while digging, and it was only .8 euros each way.
We were seriously in the musem from 1pm, when it opened, until 5:30 or something and seriously, we stopped reading the signs cause after the first few galleries (when we left for lunch and came back) we realized just how long reading everything would take so we only stopped for ones that looked particularly interesting...
The funiest part of the museum - that's right... funny - was when we walked past this couple, maybe our age or a little younger, and this guy was explaining to the girl what foreskin is because, of course, most of the statues were created before circumcision was popular and although most of them were defaced and missing their penis' (penises? peni?) there was enough to confuse the young thing - "like, why do they look different?" - not really, but it's still funny...
So... Eric is currently booking our ferries for the islands and just walked into the room 'cause he had forgotten how to spell my last name.... seriously? whatever, he's just tired, silly boy :p
Talked to a nice lady at the Museum today from NewYork, and met one of our roommates tonight when we got home and she's from, guess where... Vancouver, Canada... small world...
Well, this small world girl is going to go chill and go to bed cause jet lag sucks man...
