In which i ate tiramisu and had some wine to boot!

So I had lunch at this nice little restaurant in the middle of ally today. Its called the Ristorante Pizzeria L. Anna. Me, Guerry, Nicole, and Liz totally had an awesome little lunch together as we sat outside and enjoyed the nice breeze and cars pass by us. We ordered a nice little jug'o wine for ourselves, and even though I'm not a wine person, it was pretty good. The girls ordered salads, and i of course had pizza. It was freshly made and warm, and extremely good. It tasted weird when drinking wine and eating pizza though. Very...different. We just sat there and talked about how we are liking it so far and what we hope to do, and what could be improved.

I must admit i was a bit nervous with them, because it was the first time so far in Rome that i was not with either Dan or Jackie, the two professors. Im having a hard time memorizing the city so i get easily lost. But thankful Liz had a good handle on navigation. As we left the restaurant, we went on a quest for some good gelato. We partially gave up in favor to find a way home with hopes of finding gelato along the way. Since we found the right bus stop, we saw a gelatoria close by.

I ordered an amazing strawberry and banana gelato that tasted soooo good. As we waited for the bus, we spotted Dan and his group, and then we got on the bus. We managed to make it back to St. Johns on our own, and I for one was happy/proud. After that we took a break in our rooms and i watched the season finale of glee which was rather mediocre.

For dinner we ate at a nice place in Trastevere, with an actual Roman artist who is friends with Jackie. Her and her partner showed us their gallery earlier and answered questions we provided. For dinner i had the fettucini with ragu, which Dan told me was a red sauce. Once i got it though in turned out to be a meat sauce. I was annoyed but once i tried it i realized it wasn't that bad and ate a good portion of it before it got really meat saucy. Another fun fact i learned is that soda isn't really popular here. people drink this thing called water. Or they drink wine or some type of coffee. For dessert i had this amazing tiramisu which was just to die for!

After dinner most of us followed Dan back to campus via the tram/trolly thing. After a few stops though Dan points out that we went in the wrong direction. Once we got on the right tram, the funniest thing all day happened. A man go on the tram and sat behind me to my right. He was a bald man of tan skin and looked like he was about in his early to mid 40's. After awhile, Melissa told me to look over, so i did. I then saw he was brushing a short wig with a comb, on the tram. I saw this and as most of you can imagine i started to laugh with melissa rather discretely-ish. As this was happening i looked over again and the man put the wig on. At that point I couldn't stop laughing with Melissa. The man then proceeded to leave with his wig on. It was the most funniest thing i witnessed so far. Truly. After that we arrived back and me, Erika, Melissa, and Emily got some gelato across the street. Peach gelato with strawberry is slammin yalls!
