Kevin arrived today sporting some new facial hair on his chin. After picking him up at the airport, unpacking, and showering, he was wide awake and wanted his first Italian brick oven pizza. He loved it!! After coming back to the hotel he thought about laying out by the pool but fell asleep. His 24 hour, transcontinental traveling caught up with him. We woke him up for dinner and took him to downtown Rome. We took a quick walk to the Forum, then found an outside resturant and he had his first spaghetti! We then hurried over to Circus Maximus. That's not how they spell it, but you know what I mean. The place where Charlton Heston had the famous horse race in the movie Ben Hur. Anyway, the only thing left of the famous place is one long grassy indention about a city block long. Most of the time we see homeless people sleeping there, or in the daytime people picnic or do whatever else you do in wide open spaces. Tonight the area had a big screen TV so people could watch Italy play Germany in the World Cup. I don't know how many people were there, but my guess is they would have filled OU's football stadium. Wall to wall people, standing, sitting, dancing, waving Italian flags, tv crews, and street venders were everywhere!!! It was crazy!!! We left at halftime because we didn't want to drive in the madness and we needed to get Kevin to bed. We want to try to get him on Italian time as soon as possible.
