Hi big sis. Just survived Roman subway. Can't believe I was almost robbed.
7:35 PM
Budget traveling in Italy sounds like fun, LOL.
7:36 PM
TG, stepped back the moment thief was pulling wallet out of my pocket. Grabbed it and told her in the face—train was so packed she couldn't flee—it was mine.
7:37 PM
What did she say?
7:37 PM
Nothing. She pretended not to understand and jumped off at next station.
7:38 PM
Be careful, Lisa. Where r u now?
7:38 PM
@ Colosseum!
7:40 PM
Really? Photo!
7:40 PM
Sorry, almost used up my GB. Txt only.
7:40 PM
OK. Describe.
7:41 PM
It's huge. And u have to pay to get in :(
7:43 PM
Just sit outside and drink it in.
7:44 PM
I will. As soon as I find free spot on a bench.
7:45 PM
Sauntered around Colosseum. Finally found place 2 sit. Pink n orange sky. Roman soldier winking @ me ;)
8:30 PM
?Army parade?
8:31 PM
Haha no! History's alive in the Eternal City. Guy dressed up as ancient soldier 2 enhance antique ambience I guess. Says, “ciao bella.”
8:33 PM
Watch out, Lisa.
8:34 PM
Don't worry. I've grown up.
8:35 PM
No comment.
8:35 PM

8:40 PM
Lisa!
8:40 PM

8:50 PM
O dang.
8:59 PM
What happened?
9:00 PM
I thought he liked me but he charged €50 for selfie. AFTER I made it.
9:01 PM
O no. What did you do?
9:01 PM
Feeling ttly humiliated.
9:02 PM
But did you pay 'm? I mean, 't was your own phone?!
9:02 PM
He got angry, yelled at me. People stared. So embarrassing. What could I do?
9:03 PM
O Lisa. Expensive souvenir. Send it to me. Pls?
9:03 PM
I deleted it.
9:04 PM
What? Why?
9:04 PM
Canceled evidence of horrible experience.
9:05 PM
He nailed it.
9:06 PM
What?
9:06 PM
The Roman soldier nailed your vanity.
9:07 PM
Very funny. NOT. Don't tell me I must forgive him.
9:08 PM
WWJD?
9:09 PM
But…€50!
9:09 PM
And in close-up he was distastefully fake. Plastic breastplate and broom bristles as a helmet plume.
9:10 PM
Worn Nikes peeping out from under his tunic.
9:11 PM
Sis?
9:12 PM
I’m waiting...
9:12 PM

9:12 PM
OK, all right...Lord, I forgive my Roman soldier.
9:13 PM
