Massimo

I went to a park and sat on a bench to read my book. It was a beautiful place, and after a long day of walking around I was really hoping for some peace and quiet. But the funny thing was that Roman men kept coming and asking if they could sit down with me. I kept saying no...I just wanted to sit and read my book. Then Massimo sat down with me, and said he was a professor at the University. We chatted for a while, then he asked where I was staying...I told him that I was staying at a youth hostel, which seemed to really upset him. He warned me that all kinds of bad things happen and hostels, and they're being shut down all the time for health reasons...then he offered to let me stay at his place where we could "begin a friendship". lol, I said no thanks (thinking I'd take my chances with the youth hostel thank you very much).
He was very dissappointed, but I eventually got rid him by taking his number and promising to call him for a coffee later on...much later on.
