Well, it was a weekend for me anyway - P. had class Saturday & a class-trip Sunday. Saturday I did a little shopping & relaxing thne met P. after class. We dropped off his stuff at home and walked down to the Tiber to meet some friends for dinner. We walked over to Testaccio (a new neighborhood for us) and one of the guys asked a chubby man where he liked to eat in the area. He gave us an excellent recommendation of da Bucatino - great pasta.
Then we walked all over the darn place looking for this party a couple of Irish girls from P.'s class were hosting. We finally found it ( up a hill of course) and had fun there for a couple of hours. One of them got a text message about the protests turning into riots downtown, so we we glad to be in the boonies. We thought we could catch the last bus home but must have just missed it. So we hailed a cab instead - an adorable old man who whistled the entire ride home. It wasn't annoying, somehow.
Sunday we relaxed all morning, went to Mass at our local church & walked into Largo Argentina to meet P's class for the first Sunday field-trip. This week's theme - Julius Caesar. He's posted about it separately, but I will say I had fun. The group is pretty nice & I had my camera to keep me busy. Plus most of the stories Reginaldus told were in English, so that was cool. After the walk was over (with all the wine drunk & our legs aching) 4 hours later, we took the bus home & had a simple dinner in of ravioli in a butter lemon sauce.
Today we had our land-lady & her technician come over at 10AM and set up the internet service. Turned out it was a driver issue, not a line issue & we were able to set it up without involving the irritating internet provider. Yay!
I walked Pat to class, cleaned up the apartment & now I'm catching up on emails & general internet time-suckage. Paris Hilton sure got into a lot of trouble while we weren't online. Tonight - I make us pizza.
