Hiya spunkrats !
Thought I'd drop a line or three from sunny Rome !
Josh and I have caught up on some desperately needed R&R and are jumping ( or floppin ) over the jet lag hurdle. We arrived in London on the 8th with zero sleep in 48 hours ( man I was hurtin when we hit the Underground ), did the touristy thing, slept at our friends house for an hour and went off the meet Rob and Hertz ...
We've been in Rome 3 days now and have been loving it, saw the Sistine Chapel, Vatican Museum, the colleseum, the Roman Forum, the Trevi Fountain, found the best place to sit outside and eat delicious pasta, garlic bread to end all garlic breads and they serve wine by the litre of half litre. Can we say boozy lunch
Some impressions of Rome...
Graffitti everywhere, everyone in the city seems to own a dog, and almost every other store sells gelato, in every imaginable flavour. I've sampled the nutella and tiramisu flavours but I noticed there is a 'Kelloggs All Bran' flavour as well ( an ice cream that keeps you regular as well, niiiiice ).
Somethin that would be embarrassing if I didnt find it kinda funny is we woke up this mornin to a beautiful day and thought it might be an idea to day trip it up to Florence today....so I asked Aldo, the B&B owner and he told me it might be crowded....
I commented " Well, I guess it would be, it IS Saturday..."
To which he replied " Bella, it's Sunday today..."
Josh and I have been thinkin we're on the day before ever since we've arrived. We just kept thinkin we arrived in Wednesday ( reality, it was Thursday ) and went from there... We had to look at our itinerary in our room to get it straight in our minds because we thought HE was confused.
When we realized he was right ( uh yeah, tell the local what day it is ...)it was such a weird feeling. So yesterday was really Saturday when we thought it was Friday and so on...
Oh geez. Holidays screw with ya mind that way :blushing:
