Sunday afternoon, our Italian "sorpresas" continued. We were set to go to the Roma-Bologna soccer game at Stadio Olimpico (the Olympic Stadium from the 1960 Olympics), and were all ready for it in our own Rome version of ND's "THE Shirt 2010." We tried to buy tickets at a Tabacchi but the computer wasn't working, and after trying a few more with no success we were told to buy them at the Stadium, so we started out on what we didn't realize was an almost 2 hour walk. We asked a couple people along the way to make sure we were headed in the right direction, and were first told in broken English that the man, "didn't have the stadium," (thanks, but we didn't think you did), and later that it was "troppo lontano," (too far), but we finally made it there! We were so excited that we had actually gotten there...until we found out that we would have to take a bus somewhere else to buy tickets, and it was too late. Italy gets us again. A little disappointed, we started our long walk back home. At least we got cool shirts out of it!
