Day 6, Florence to Rome

The following post is by sophomore Savannah Johnson!

It's been real Florence but off to Rome we go!! After sleeping in a little and another hotel breakfast, we braved a three hour bus ride to Rome. About two hours into the drive we stopped at what I'd call the most glorious rest stop ever. The stop had a full "ristorante" (said in my newly assumed Italian accent) ... with a cheese bar I might add... some seriously chic bathrooms, and of course your average snacks, drinks, etc. 

We finally arrived in Rome and settled into the hotel around 2pm local time and quickly turned around for a pregame "stretch" with Coach P (insert dramatic air quotes here). Unlike the previous hotels, there was no space big enough for us to stretch thus forcing us to find a local park. Easier said than done... Us girls and Coach Behn followed behind Coach P through the mostly beautiful streets of Rome in search of a suitable park with his handy dandy map in hand. With no luck, we eventually settled for a stretch of shaded sidewalk.

After we returned from what seemed more like a walking tour of the entire city of Rome rather than a quick park stretch, we had pregame meal which consisted of grilled chicken parm, pasta, and salad at a small restaurant across the street from the hotel. 

Game 3! We played Omega Basket, which despite the final score proved more competitive than the 2 teams from Milan. We won 89-22 and enjoyed a packed gym with some of the most enthusiastic fans I've ever played in front of. 

Today was a good day!

Better brace yourself Rome! The Lady Beahs have officially arrived!
