Calcio

The Stadio Olimpico is a nice stadium. You feel a bit packed in, when sitting where we were, in the nosebleed seats and the steps are rather steep - however, the view of the match was perfect. The blue section across the field is where the owners, politicians, journalists and other highly protected spectators sit. They only serve hotdogs (with ketchup and mayo), water, beer, Coke and stale popcorn. Needless to say, we went to dinner afterwards.


Please excuse the angle of this photo. It was the best way to show you what took place after Rome lost to Juventus. For safety purposes, the Juventus fans were held in their section -not allowed to leave- well after the balance of the fans had left. And let me tell you, they were having a grand time of it! In unison, they were singing, they were chanting, and they were dancing with joy. Obviously, I've never seen anything like this before!


In anticipation of the Roma soccer match.
