Rome (Day 2) The Football Game!
So after our Vatican sightseeing half day Jay had to watch the Italy soccer game where the locals do. After much asking around he found out that there was one of I think six FIFA Fan Fest in Rome. We figured out what area it was in but still were not sure exactly where it was. Well once we got off the Metro there were just flocks of Italians in gear all heading to the same place. We knew where to go from there. Follow the swarms of Italians!
I don't think either of us expected this. We thought they would just be showing the game but it was a full fledged festival.


The fans were all geared up and ready to support Italy. Maybe one of Jays happiest moments of his life.
This was when they were singing the Italian national anthem. So much pride I can't express it in words. Sorry USA, Italy pride beats ours by a million. As most of you know, Italy lost. There were many with tears in their eyes. But it was an awesome experience. Probably our best memory so far.
