Wow...our trip is off to an amazing start!
After our amazing tour of the Roman Colosseum and a lovely fresh lunch in the open air farmer's market, thirty of us caught a bus to the Stadio Olimpico for an Italian professional league soccer match!
And just when we thought it couldn't get better, Lazio's star forward, Miroslav Klose, twisted his ankle, and because all of the subs were still stuck in the crazy Roman traffic, Mr. Johnson was called down on to the pitch to play...what a dream come true for this Southern Oregon native...and who could have predicted that he would score the game-winning goal in overtime? What a day!!!
