Apologies for seriously lagging in posting. There is more work to be done and more outings to be had than previously imagined. Also, our apartment (due to size, niceness, and kitchen equipment) has become the designated dinner spot, so there's that. Our little group of dottoresse (yes, in Italy, if you have a BA, you're called a doctor. Doctor. Like the sound of that as much as I do?), is quite the amicable bunch, and we take really good care of each other. We have had some lovely meals, followed by gelato and a few hours of talking (I know! Shocking!) and playing cards (which we have all discovered we're not good at....me especially. Reason numero uno why I don't gamble.).
In addition, there was a mandatory walking tour of Rome (complete with a lovely history lesson), a day spent exploring the Musei Capitolini, on the Capitoline hill, dinner with the WHOLE group in the Jewish Ghetto (try the Baccala!), babysitting for one of our professors, and a day trip to Orvieto. The day trip was replete with the requisite sleep deprived hilarity, particularly at the Parque de los montruos. I kid you not. That was the name of it. We did not choose to go there. I have no idea why we were there. There were numerous confusing and perplexing statutes. THere was also a playground. That was my favorite part. All the undergrads were looking down their noses at the law students appreciating their inner children on the playground. I say that we will stay younger and more fun loving than all of them.
Anyway, There is a giant photo dump on my other blog. I apologize and will try to write more tonight.
A presto!
