Despite the internet company annoying me by costing me countless hours on the phone with them, Pat and I managed to have a nice night out last night.
We went to a little gelateria right near our place - best gelato I've had so far and it's run by an adorable old man. I had a small with a half caffe & half orange & P. tried zabaglione. Yum. We made reservations for dinner at 10 at Antica Romana & relaxed at home for a bit. We ran into a boy from P's school at the restaurant. He's some sort of child genius - I think he's a high school senior. He was with his sister who was visiting him. I can't imagine living here on my own at his age, but he seemed fine with it.
Dinner was great. I had my first risotto here - shrimp. We split an antipasti vegetable plate & P. got saltimboca so we shared our meals.
On the way home we heard our neighbors having a party so we stopped by. They were really nice & we met a lot of fun people, drank and danced. I'm paying for it a bit today, but it was worth it.
Today Bush is in town so there are protests everywhere. We're planning on keeping a low profile & maybe eating at home tonight. Tomorrow is our first trip with P's class - it's a Julius Caesar trip. I'll just hang back and take photos while they all Latin-geek out together. It doesn't start until 3PM so we may walk up to the Vatican first in the morning.
