We ate breakfast and then traveled towards the Capitolna Museum, shopping along the way. The amount of shopping we did can be depicted in the large amount of time it took to cover so little ground. We stopped along the way for lunch at some restaurant with the words “Food & Delicious” in the window. Jenny ordered fettuccini and I *thought* I ordered vegetable pasta salad. When our food arrived I found very little pasta a very much octopus tentacles, fish parts, shrimp, and other unappetizing items in my salad. I picked at a few noodles but was too disgusted to continue. Jenny was also grossed out by the sight of my meal, so we packed up and continued to the museum.

The museum looks over the Roman Fhouses ancient tombs and tombstones, statues, pottery, and frescos that cover rooms the size of my house. We spent hours taking pictures, but left prematurely due to exhaustion and hunger. Since I was still disgusted with my octopus pasta, I wasn’t feeling as adventurous as before. I gladly fled to a nearby McDonalds – even though I previously swore I would only eat authentic Italian for the entirety of my trip – and ordered a McRoyale. The McDonald’s has wifi so I used the opportunity to relax and upload more photos.

I found out why free internet is virtually impossible to find: it is illegal for non-nationals to access the Internet without producing a passport. The law is part of a 2005 anti-terrorism initiative, so any time I want to access the internet I have to show my passport.

Ciao for now.
