Great weekend in Rome!

So the weather report was accurate (unlike the UK weather report!). A great weekend, probably reached 18 degrees today and I was outside in the park in shorts and a t-shirt.

I met up with two of my classmates yesterday, Pietro (Korean) and Gabriella (Mexican). We met at The Colosseum, and then went on a walk to Trastevere. What a great part of Rome! Lots of small windy streets, plenty of bars, restaurants and small piazzas, and mostly pedestrianized. Before going I was told of the most photographed laundry in the world....so when I saw it I took a photo!!

We picked up some pizza at one of the many places where you can select which slices you prefer (and how big the slice should be) and then they weigh it and charge you accordingly. We then followed the river along to San Pietro. The Korean, Pietro, is a priest who is in Rome furthering his theological studies. He is a pretty cool guy, although I dont think i can count on him for any late nights or big parties! He has only been in Rome for just over a week and the jet lag had knocked him the last week so he hadnt been there yet, so it was cool for him.

After that we grabbed some ice cream in Piazza Navona and then I headed home.

The children had friends here pretty much the whole weekend, so that kept them busy. Played a bit of monopoly with them earlier, which was good as I pretended not to know the game and so they explained the rules to me in english.

Cant believe tomorrow I will have been here for 4 weeks! Time goes a lot quicker when you happy...
