I set the alarm this morning for 6:40 am. When I turned on the TV, I found out that there was an earthquake a little north of Rome sometime during the night. I didn’t feel it myself, but I did survive my second quake! (The first one being the one in southern Illinois a couple of years ago.) After a shower, I headed over to the train station to meet the girls. The station is between my hostel and her apartment, so that made it easy.

The tickets to Venezia (Venice) were expensive at €72 for the round trip, but I figured when else am I going to have the opportunity? I got on the train just a bit before it left as I hadn’t found the ladies yet. We finally met when they jumped on the same car I was on. They didn’t get the round trip, as apparently you can get regional tickets that are slower, but cost a lot less. They got the express for the way there because it was so much faster.
