Mountain of Rubbish, 69 shots, and Harry Potter on a Wednesday Night

Broken pieces everywhere

9AM Archeology on-site class At Monte Testaccio (Testaccio meaning brick), which is about 10/15 minutes from our house. This hill was once flat but used as a dump it turned into a hill. It is made out of broken pottery fragments of old pots from the Spaniards and Africans. In these pots they shipped over Spanish olive oil, beans, wine, nuts, etc. The heavy pots were shipped from Spain to Rome with some reaching a heavy 70l worth of goods. Why didn't they recycle the pots? Due to the smell, they couldn't clean them well enough to take it out so they just had them for a one time use.

9PM The big buzz around campus is the 'Harry Potter bar' -"Have you had the Hermione shot?" or "What's this about chocolate shots...like,,the shot glass is edible?" Luckily, our friend Tyler was sweet enough to bring us to these two bars and a few more..on a Wednesday night..

Chocolate shots: Shot glasses made out of chocolate. You choose from a variety of drinks- naughty names (You can translate them if your heart desires to): Punto-G, Amplesso, Succhiotto, Sveltina..

After the sweetest shot I have ever tasted, we went to the 'Harry Potter Bar' that is called Almula. The Harry Potter shot lights on fire...and it didn't taste too bad. However, I had Voldemort shot...lets just say it included a few different vodkas and tabasco sauce.
