Walking off the gelato

Since today was Laurent’s last day before heading back to Rome, we filled it with fun. For lunch we got sandwiches at The Oil Shoppe, which is one of the most popular American places, and absolutely bomb.com. There is a sign-in book there with hundreds of college students from back home, and I added myself to that, obviously.

Then we hiked to the Michelangelo viewpoint. How I did not come here my first day, I do not know, as it is more breathtaking than anything I have seen so far, and pointless to even try describing.It was all uphill and maybe fourteen million stairs, but probably for the best considering how big my sandwich was earlier. (On that note, I have somehow, despite the gelato, the cheese, the ciabattas, and the mozzarella, lost weight).

God I love Italy.



After our long journey, we rewarded ourselves with a glass of wine. Every night around 5 they have what’s called “apertivo”, which is basically a free buffet of appetizers to accompany your drinks.

I may never come home.
