We arrived in Rome on the Sunday 14th and checked into our cozy little B&B right across from the University of Rome. I worked with the two Saccopastore Neandertals housed at the University on Monday, and the Guattari Neandertal housed at the the "L. Pigorini" Museum of Prehistory and Ethnography on Tuesday. It was a truly a surreal experience to be handed specimens to work with that you have been reading and writing about for 5 years. Rome was kinda hot (especially when hauling equipment around town) but we had a great time in our short stay there. While we didn't have a lot of time for site-seeing, we did have a chance to stop and see the Colosseum for about an hour. On Tuesday, after measuring the Guattari specimen, Tressa and I took an over-night train from Rome to Munich Germany. It was a little cramped, but we had a lot of fun in our little private sleeping compartment. Wednesday morning we took a train to Frankfurt to meet up with Tressa's college roommate Melanie Horst and her husband Joe who are stationed in Germany with the Army.
