This weekend since I was planning on going to Napoli then that got cancelled, I didn't really have any big plans set up...

Saturday Morning I took a passaggiata around the city, saw some nice clothes, almost bought a "fashionable" jacket (puffy, tan, fur-lined hood) just so I'd look more Roman, and warm... but ended up letting it go. ;)

I ate some GREAT tiramisu' in the southeast side of town, near Furio Camillo. Apparently a VERY popular place. Very crowded, but big, so there was room for everyone. Ate some sausage and potatoes for dinner. Mmmmm. I met some friends after dinner and one of them said I looked like someone famous only with a beard, but they couldn't remember the person's name. They said the head bad guy in the movie "Cellular". I'd actually just seen part of it on TV the night before and it happened to be a scene with the head bad guy. Jason Statham. ;) I asked if they'd seen "The Italian Job", they said no, but they had wanted to. I took the compliment anyway. ;)

This morning I met Aneta at Pza. del Popolo and we went to Porta Portese, a HUGE street market near Trastevere. It was awesome. Everything was there from cheap junk to really nice clothing and shoes. I bought a couple of things, one being an umbrello for 2 euro because it was raining, yet again... this week looks like it will be week 3 of straight rain. At least once everyday for 3 weeks. So much stinking water. Troppa pioggia.

Afterwards, I went to a friend of a friend's birthday party... I thought it was going to be a small get together with a small group at the pizzeria... we were supposed to be there at 20.00. We got there at 20.15 and it was a small group of people... then more people came... Eventually there were from 35-40 people there and we ACTUALLY started eating about 21.30. There were four courses (riso, pasta, carne con verdura, torta di frutta)... very good! It was just after 00.00 when we finally finished wishing happy birthdays and opening gifts and everything... I had loads of fun even though the entire group spoke Italian, I got bits and pieces here and there. I got a ride home on a motorino since the metro had stopped running. They're pretty fun.

All in all a fun weekend!
