Stranded in Roma

We got up in the morning, packed our bags, and checked couchsurfing. We got the "ok" to stay with a guy named Lorenzo- we were very relieved. We said goodbye and headed to the train station, but we stopped along the way for some medicine for Katie's face, as it has now become swollen, along with the bites...it is quite a sight to see!
We left Firenze at 1:10 pm and got to Roma at about 4:45. The train ride consisted of a lot of reading, music, and beautiful countryside. Lorenzo had given us directions to his house, and said to arrive and 7:30 and to be very punctual. So we found his place, then set out to find some dinner.
You'll never guess what we ate...what's that? oh, yeah, pizza. We still had about an hour to kill, so we sat in the park for a while, then headed back to Lorenzo's early. We sat there from 7:10 until 8:00, ringing his bell. He never came.
We were pretty much in what we will call "OH, shit" mode at this point.
We headed to the Internet cafe right around the corner and tried to call him, but there was no answer. So we jumped on the internet and started searching for the cheapest hostel/hotel available. We were writing down directions to a place when someone comes up behind us in a suit with a motorcycle helmet and exclaims, "Is it You!?"
LORENZO!!! We could have kissed him we were so relieved. He explained that he was late because of this or that reason and he guessed we would be here.
He was late for yet another appointment, so he rushed us to his house and left. We were so so so happy we had a place to stay. A REALLY nice place too, with marble floors and the whole bit. We made up our beds and figured out our itinerary for the following day, then went to sleep.
