Dicembre 4, 2010

This morning I ran in Villa Borghese for an hour, then met some friends who are leaving for good at the end of the year and NOW they've decided that want to see Roma... We did some shopping at the San Giovanni market...(I found a leather jacket that looks like Wolverine's from X-Men, but way sexier, since it was on me, I talked the woman down 50 euro, but I didn't buy it, if it's there in January, maybe. We'll see.)

Then we went and had a coffee at a cafe' above COIN. Two of the girls got some white hot chocolate that was apparently "sour" and I talked to the barista and got them refunds and another drink... by the way, "sour" doesn't translate into Italian in regards to something that has gone bad, it's just 'bad'. ;)

Then we went to the countryside to see some catacombs (218 infront of San Giovanni). We went into a REALLY beautiful church and saw some fantastic villas, then after we'd finished our adventures at the catacombs (really just like the one's here in town, but the walk to them was more spectacular) we went into the large, San Giovanni cathedral.

Afterwards, on my way home, I ran into Giorgio and we went out to get the shopping stuff done for the week. Afterwards, I went out and met with Jelco, Nora, and Erica and we went out for some drinks, I met two of their friends... but didn't ever talk to them since they ran off talking to some random guys... but we ended up leaving having a good night. I got a free drink at the Drunken Ship and got discounts for the girls with my student ID. :) Awesome!

Nic had his friend Ricard over. We played them against me, where I cornered them in a room and scared them... then we broke a loose door handle and I fixed it (I know; I cook, I clean, I fix things, I'm great with kids, I'm smart, and I'm not hard on the eyes... lucky, I know. ;) They ended up making a HUGE mess in Nic's room that I had to help clean up... oh boys... Then I went out and danced some... tada!
