The Appian Way and Catacombs

Today we got on a subway again that took us to a place where we then got on a public bus that took us to the Appian Way. The Appian Way is an ancient rode that was instrumental in Romes success. Although now its deteriorated a lot making it obviously uncomfortable to drive on. Its made out of large uneven black cobblestones that used to be filled around by the cement that the Romans used. we walked along it for a while although the original rode quickly ends (hey, no one wants to drive on that) until we got to the Catacombs. The Catacombs were ancient Christan burial places in Rome. It is underground in a four layer maze, we could have easily gotten lost if it weren't for our guide. Who was a very good guide by the way, he seemed to know and tell us everything about the Catacombs. Next we went to a cafe where I had a piece of chocolate cake before we went back to the convent. After this we took the bus and subway back and went shopping before going back to the convent. I was looking for batteries for my camera (guess why there are no pictures of today's activities). We went back to Leonardo's today and had a similar experience as the last time. Except that I had a fun after dinner game of "save the stick man" with Ian the kid from Chicago. Who I got to know better over the course of the trip. As well as the guide from his school Linda. Linda has two replaced knees that make walking a little difficult for her. and we walked an average of five and a half miles a day so she would sometimes head out ahead of us and/or take a bus while we walked.
