All these photos are from people we met through couchsurfing. The top picture is all Romans (don't remember any of their names). Below is Serica from Austrailia/New Zealand (same thing) and Kobuta and Dana in the last picture (Canada and Detroit). Pretty much all of the other 60 couchsurfers who went were Italians.
Me as God(above) and Clark as the devil (below). The hearts came from some Roman hippies.
So Clark (my roommate) joined Couchsurfing and joined the Rome group. Thursday night we met up with some Italians for aperitifs. Couchsurfing also was having a sign-up for a bus that would take a group to Poggio Mirteto for their Carnivale celebration. The celebration was for the anniversary of the liberation of the city from the Papal State. So every year the small town has a big party with music, costumes (we were supposed to dress like biblical characters), parades, wine and burning effigies of the Pope. It was a great experience to see the celebration and meet a lot of new people from all over the world (and a lot more Romans).
