roma ( a four day adventure)

prepare yourself for a very long photo post. these pictures represent the four day trip that i and katherine had while in roma, la città eterna. it was nice, we relaxed and explored rome at our leisure.

Photobucket
leaving siena. it was so bittersweet. also i was amazed at the amount of luggage i had for three months....i was sick of all my clothes at this point in time.

Photobucket
we passed sooo many campi dei girasoli while driving out of toscana

Photobucket
some street performers in piazza navona.

Photobucket
la palma. near the pantheon. go there its good. (see picture below)

anguria and pera e formaggio...or cocco, i dont remember actually. tee hee.

Photobucket
this is the line for la bocca della verita....yes this is the line for people to stick their hand in an ancient roman manhole cover

Photobucket
so naturally i stuck my hand up its nose

Photobucket
my very last gelato (atleast for a while) on my last night in rome. i walked over to oldbridges right by the vatican and it was an excellent choice. the ragazzi sereving me gave me an extra scoop for spekaing italian to them...and for knowing what i wanted right away. amarena (still my absolute fav), nutella e cocco. excellent way to wrap up the trip.

mostly perugia and a dash of assisi

we took a weekend trip (big surprise eh) to perugia and assisi. it was great fun. we went to the perugia chocolate factory, they produce baci chocolates and such--it was an excellent decision.

Photobucket

the girls whom i dearly love. we shared laughs, quotes of the italian bimbo and free sample. lots and lots of free samples:)

Photobucket
a beautiful view and i'm not talking about the back of liz's head becasue that is ridiculous.

Photobucket
an italian family out for a passeggiata

Photobucket
perugia was a super fun trip, especially since we had an italian guide by the name of paolo--one of margarets friends and a student at the unvi-- he was quite the character. we were supposed to go to a discoteca but he couldnt find one, howevere we were endlessly entertained by his mannerisms and philosophy on women. hehe. i heart him and his overly used gestures.

and a dash of assisi.....really it was a dash we spent twenty minuets. for serious.

bwahahahaha. reminds me of a certain calendar i once saw and almost purchased.

Photobucket

Photobucket

colazione

this is what my breakfast usually consists of.

casa

a bowl of miel pops, which are like honey nut cheerios, an americanized muffin which is not american at all really, and a juice box. my favorite is A.C.E, arancia, carote, e limone. sometimes i switch out for a yogurt or a piece of bread with honey from nonna's bees.

casa
i love that she puts the cereal in a jar. love it.
