Day 12: Rome To Florence

Tuesday, June 4, 2002

Applauded Ali for maneuvering bus through narrow path to dinner restaurant, where there were other Contiki groups and a Japanese group.

Welcomed by blue or pink champagne and antipasta. Dined on penne with marinara, lasagna, sliced beef with dried parmesan, and ice cream cake.

Spun napkins (applause) for opera singer. Click here for the video.

Accordion player was hitting on our ladies, while the pianist butchered "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" by singing it.

Who are you? Who are you? It was Dale's idea. It was Dale's idea. Yeah! Restaurant handed out the lyrics to Volare for us to sing along with the festivities.

Dale suggested we grab a partner from someone not in our group and start dancing with them.

We danced and sweated to the Macarena (click here to learn how to do the 'Macarena' dance), the Chicken Dance, and other songs.

Kyle stopped the CD player on the bus a few times because we danced in the aisles. Also taught the ladies the official "no" symbol: the "L" (use both arms if finger and thumb aren't enough).

Hey girls...
