This weekend was just what I needed! After working/traveling nearly 60 hours this past week, I needed some time to rest, enjoy myself (in such a neat city), and catch up. Anyways, Saturday morning I was able to run (but the hills, compared to Toledo/Columbus are not fun), help out in the garden trimming kiwi & other miscellanous bushes, and read! The weather has been perfect here...around 24 degrees celsius (75 fahrenheit), sunny, with an occasional afternoon shower. Today, I was able to go into the city for a few hours, just kind of wandering around, taking in the atmsophere and seeing my favorite Roman sites (Pantheon, Spanish S
teps, Trevi Fountain).... I had lunch in the Piazza di Spagna, visited the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and tried to get lost the rest of the afternoon. I was able to get my "AS Roma" soccer t-shirt from a local vender too! Not to get "philsophical", but walking around brought back so many memories.... Throwing the coins into Trevi Fountain as a child (with B.E.S.T. , of course), seeing the gate where dogs were jumping around-taking a video (Rian, Matt), and seeing the really neat painter/Mozzeralla Bar (Jess, Bren, Taylor)(see pictures). So, I really enjoyed my first "full" weekend here... back to work tomorrow morning! Take care and love to family and friends!
