During our Sunday night in Rome, about 15 of
us decided to do the "Pub Crawl". Here's how it
works: The meeting point is the Metro Station across from the
Coliseum at 8 PM. Everyone hanging out gets escorted to a park
above the Metro Station. This is were we are met by a couple of
other people with beer and wine. Sundays are usually slow,
however, on this Sunday, there were a total of about 40
participants. An emergency call was made for more beer.

| So, we are hanging around, getting well lubricated,
wondering what is up next. Our plan was announced, we would drink
for about 90 minutes or so, then hit five bars where we are provided a
shot. Everyone started talking and introducing themselves.
Then the drinking games were started! These were the typical games
that involved memory, and the less you need to drink, the more you are
made to drink. |
Egg-toss...what a mess!
|
| One game involved spinning in a circle hold a
closed can of beer. This goes on for about 30 seconds. When
told to stop, the can is tossed. The player must then chase the
beer, open it, and chug it. Vic won that contest. There was
also a joke telling contest, Faelynn won that one. Contest winners
get two shots at every bar. |
| When the time was right, we left to hit the
bars. The first one was quite a distance, so we would take the
city bus. Since there were forty of us, and one bus driver, we
didn't have to pay. But if problems would arise, the pub crawl
manager would sound the signal and run. We would then run after
him. This time, there were no problems. |
| We were greeted at the first bar with our
shots. Then a few other drinks were bought. We spent about
45 minutes there, then walked to the next bar. Here, the process
started all over again. |

| This whole thing was over by about 1 or 2
(it's all a blur). If you are ever in Rome, try it. It
happens every night! |
