A few more things to note from the weekend.

Some other things we discovered this weekend, in a nutshell...

Sean has officially witnessed me eat a whole pizza. Thats right...when I got back from my last trip, no one believed I could do it. Well, now I have a witness. It was a whole pie, and yes, I ate the whole thing and felt completely satisfied.

While on the subject of pizza, I saw a woman eating a pizza with egg on it. It was a normal looking pizza with whole, hard boiled eggs on top. Enough said. It looked totally odd, and I am not sure if I will try it. But, hey, when in Rome...so maybe....

We went to Piazza Navona, which was very cool. Something I missed the first time I was in Rome. It was bustling with people, street performers and music. Sean almost lost it when I nearly paid 5 euro for a coke though. That is equivilant to about 8 dollars, for a regular can of coke. Needless to say, he wouldnt let me buy it.

We stumbled upon the Jewish ghetto. Something else I missed during my first trip to Rome. It was very interesting, and a kind of runned down part of town. Very cool to see though.

We also stumbled upon a cat sanctuary. This was as gross as it sounds. Its called Torre Argentina - it is an area of ancient ruins where millions of wild cats have made their home. It smelled like a giant litter box. Ick.

Well, those were just a few highlights of the weekend!! Overall it was nice and relaxing. Sean and I are so happy here. Well, today is another day at school. I am teaching tonight for my first time! More to come on that!
