After our conversational Italian class on Thursday, Aaron and I had dinner at our friends Elyse’s apartment near the Spanish Steps before we ran home to grab our bags for our trip to Udine. Our train was scheduled to leave at 10:50pm so we were at Termini Station at 9:30 waiting. We couldn’t seem to find the platform where the train was supposed to be. We kept circling the station trying to find an open office where we could ask a train official about it but ...
