I spent my second day in the catacombs of San Callisto, thinking that another 5 euro for another catacomb would probably yield the same results. The underground is really nice and cool though, I enjoyed the natural airconditioning.
Appia Antica is the road where a bunch of people were crucified after Spartacus' revolt a loooong long time ago. It is very narrow and walking along it is dangerous as cars brush up right against you. Luckily, it wasn't very scary compared with walking the streets in many Asian cities. I went back to a bus stop that would take me to a metro because it was time for my siesta. The heat was again beyond blistering today, so I did what I could to stay in the shade. I got on the wrong side of the bus stop maybe three times today, so I really wasn't right in the mind or something.
At the bus stop I waited on one side and on the other a girl/woman waited. I think we were there for at least half an hour before we were picked up. During my wait in the lucky shade of an oversized poplar (bo shu?), I chipped away at the wall on my side while playing with the concrete holding the wall together. I am an undercover Carthiginian, seeking the destruction of Rome!
One of the greatest parts of Rome are the coiffeured (sp?) pines all over the place. They're old and well kept, but their pruned highness only adds to the desert like heat of the place. Like the day before, I was quite dirty after a day of wandering. I went home, showered, and went to sleep. At night I walked around looking for a happening night, but I think as in most places, Tuesday nights are still early for any nighttime outings. Better that way though, because the next day I had to check out.

I am so jealous as I never did make it to the catacombs and I really wanted to.
it wasn't that big a deal, but it was still cool in all senses of the word, which was vitally important...
