What is going on!?!?!?!

In the past 24 hours Adam and I have quite the turn of events. In the morning we went and walked through the Roman Forum, which was incredible. It was so crazy to imagine that people actually built these massive buildings without the types of machines we have today. We then walked to the Coloseum which is HUGE!! Everywhere we went in Rome it turned out that Michelangelo had either built it or designed it...talk about an over achiever!! Everything really was incredible and I have taken tons of pictures.
We then got on a train heading to Venice so that we could go to the Heinken Jammin Festival. Of course the cart we were sitting on in the train was the ONLY cart whose air conditioning was broken. We couldn't open windows or anything...we pretty much turned delusional and tried to enjoy each others company. I basically laughed at everything possible and tried to take everything in stride. We finally got to Venice where it was absolute chaos! We were waiting for a bus to go to our hostel. The streets were flooded with people and we figured it was because of the festival. Little did we know that there was a terrible storm and a tornado that ripped through the area where the concert took place. Some crazy girl with green hair and piercings covering her face told us in English that "cows died"...what she tried to say was that a boy died. It was a little scary and we didn't know what to do but after about an hour and a half of waiting for our bus we hoped on the number 11. Unfortunately this was the wrong bus and wasn't stopping where we needed it to. Luckily we knew that and just figured we would try to get as far away from the train station as possible and either get a cab from there or another bus. To our advantage a lot of people had the same idea and we hung out with them at the next bus stop. Two British girls hung out with us and we got 4 beers for all of us from the local restaurant down the street. Soon enough our bus came and we arrived at what looked like Woodstock. No but it really wasn't that bad. Adam got eaten alive by mosquitos and has made use of my Rhuli gel (bug gel) which he was making fun of before he started using it. He is now thankful. We found our room which was pretty small but it had two beds so it was only for us which was nice especially after the day we had.
We got some dinner at the pizza bar which was delicious. We then headed for bed in our mosquito infested room and hoped for the best to not get eaten during our sleep. I ended up fine only about 2 bites. Our bad luck just seems to just never be ending because the concert was cancelled. Aparently the storm was really bad but we put a positive spin on things and realized we just saved a lot of money.
Today we plan on touring the city of Venice. We are going to take our time then get on a train tomorrow to Salzburg, Austria to see if the hills ARE alive. I'm pretty psyched and so is Adam. One downside to the rest of our trip is that neither one of us has the slightest bit of an idea as to how to speak the languages in the next few countries. We really will be relying on my good looks, I mean OUR good looks, and try to get by on that. Well I need to be going...Ciao ciao :)
