Giochiamo a bowling!

The Pantheon Institute organized a bowling night for the students on Wednesday, March 23rd.

Once the students were done with the Wednesday architectural studio session, they came to the Pantheon office to meet me and we headed together to Piazza San Silvestro to take the bus; we walked along streets full of tourists and Romans going around for shopping. We took bus n.80 and we reached our destination in just 10 minutes: as a matter of fact, we didn’t go to the Brunswick bowling as we did last year with the Spring 2010 students, but we decided to go to a place that is definitely smaller and not as fancy as the Brunswick but that’s absolutely easier to reach…and everyone liked it! This bowling is in Viale Regina Margherita, very close to the university “La Sapienza”.

Once we got there, we met Alessia, the student from Roma Tre who is working as an intern at the Pantheon Institute , and her friend Silvia. So we went inside and, after the students got the bowling shoes, they started playing. Despite being a little discouraged at first, the girls totally rocked the competition so much so that they scored more points than most of the boys! Between a game and another, Americans and Italians had a good chat…using both languages!

This activity was once again a very nice opportunity for our students to have a little conversation, relax for a couple of hours I good company and get to know new areas of Rome!
