Aquino (2)

Sorry, I'm way behind on posts, but I'll try to keep plugging away. When we got to the train station that serves Aquino, we got this view:

We asked in the station (we had to knock on a closed door near the small waiting room to actually find someone to talk to) if there was a bus to Aquino. No. Could we get a taxi? No. You can get to it on foot. So we started walking (which was pretty fun):

And walking:

And eventually we arrived. Here is Abbey at the hometown sign. I'd have liked something a little more elaborate such as 'Hillsdale: It's the people!'--perhaps 'Aquino: We have a great view of the mountains and you'll be the only foreigners here!'--but this was cool too:

In other news, Liz and Dan are here now which is sweet. Allison and Liz are planning to go to the airport to pick up the other girls, and Dan and I are planning to head out to Ostia for the afternoon.
