Pictures!

Sorry for the whinyness of the last post- tomorrow will be much better and much busier! I'm heading to the Porta Portugese outdoor flea market, then over to a veggie market to pick up massive amounts of tomatoes so I can make the Mezzanotte homemade pasta sauce (thanks for everything dear!!) for Olivia and Kate to make lasagna tomorrow for dinner. Then, we should be going regular food shopping- I'm out of pane and succo di mele (bread and apple juice.)

Classes start on Monday, and I'm nervous about them starting up. I know I'll be fine, it's just nerves right now.

For now, and for all you not on FB (or who can't see my pictures on FB)- Here is part of the last week in photos!

The roommates, in front of the Castel di San'Angelo.

The Pantheon- built in AD 118 by Hadrian, taken over by Christians at some point right after 333 AD, gutted  by the Italian Royal Family for their tombs. Like this one:

The tomb of Vittorio Emanuell II- unifier of Italy in 1861(ish- I totally need to check this date- or have Jordan check it for me....)

From there, we wandered to the Trevi Fountain, see one of the previous posts for the panorama I took. That was basically the end of walking day 1.

Walking day 2- Thursday

We went to the Spanish Steps yesterday for a little while, mainly to find the American Express currency exchange. (On a side note, don't use AAA for money exchange. They rape you. I could have changed my money for a much better rate than the stupid ass one that I got. I was gypped by about 40 or 50 Euro, that's about $80 US.)

Katie, me, Olivia, Melissa and Kelly infront of the Spanish Steps.

My apartment:

 

Dining room

 

My bedroom- my side- kerry's is much neater!

 

Bathroom- mostly very cold water!

 

door and wine cabinet

So if you've read to the bottom of this, please post some sort of comment. It's really nice to know that I'm not talking to space, and there are people actually paying attention to my life.

:P

Ciao!
