Good morning all!

Finally I have some pictures of my apartment in Trastevere.


living room


kitchen


bathroom


view from the front door


MacKenzie and Ashley Rose's bedroom


me and Sam's bedroom


the view from our bedroom window


and the view looking the other way! There is a piazza at the end of this street, San Cosimato, and that is the way we walk to school in the morning.


and this is our apartment building!

It's about 4:30 p.m. here right now, and today has been pretty low-key. I planned on going to the museum near the capitol building to see the Picasso exhibit, but I had to wait a long time for a hot shower, so I got a pretty late start. Instead I decided to get through most of the reading for class on Monday, then showered and walked to the UWRC with Sam to do some research for our first paper. By the time we got here it was about 3:00, so I didn't want to go all the way to the museum in the event that it was much bigger than I could cover in an hour or two.

Most of the people in our group took a day trip to Naples today but Sam and I decided to stay behind since it is our first weekend in Rome. I think tonight we are planning on checking out a local wine bar, and tomorrow we plan to do some exploring around the Trevi fountain.

In other news, I forgot to report last time that I've found a fellow foodie in our group! Her name is Christine and she's originally from Lake Tahoe. We made a pact to find and try some of the nicer restaurants around here. I'm pretty excited!

Also, and this is mostly for my dad, I did some research and found a guide listing the top pizza places in Rome and made a list of the ones that are really close to both my apartment and the UWRC. My "to try" list is:

1) Acchiapafantasmi - Campo de'Fiori
via dei Cappellari 66

2) Da Baffetto - Piazza Navona
via del Governo Vecchio 114

3) Dar Poeta - Trastevere
vicolo del Bologna 45

I will post full reviews when I get the chance to try these places!

Ciao!

The view from the front door is instructive in so many dimensions! So glad you're having fun!
