Cobblestones and Gelato

Praise the Lord!

Roma is absolutely, breathtaking, jaw-dropping amazing. I've barely taken out my camera in fear that I'll never put it away. The plane ordeal was a drop in a bucket once I landed, my apartment is ridiculously cutesy and quaint. It oozes Italian in every nook and cranny. These folks don't believe in dryers so we have to hang up all our clothes in the apt. I'm sure its adorable in the summer when everyone hangs it outside in the wind, just like in des films. Everything is furnished down to pale shell pink plates to rockin' gramma-style crocheted blankets. I shall post some photos of it when I can to spice up this blog.

Other than that, I tried Nutella gelato and yes, I will tell you what flavor gelato I tried in every blog post, much like the word of the day. This can be educational too dear ones! The
word of the day is: "Dove" (the e has an accent on it), pronounced "dohv-ay" which means "where is." That was a life saving phrase if I ever heard one, I went all around Rome at 8 pm navigating narrow alleyways with half my luggage trying to find my school twittering "dove Campo d'Fiori?". People here are extremely sweet though. =) And I'm off to do some errands like get me a spiffy Italian cell to use in case I get myself into all sorts of ruts!

Till next time, buongiorno

  1. I'm so glad for you Faith! Io sonno molto contenta per te! I've never been to Rome, but I'm sure it's just as beautiful as we've seen in movies. Hopefully I'll get to see it, and you, when I come visit! I still don't know when because I may have to take an exam on feb 7th, which means I can't go that weekend. I'll let you know the soonest I can. Prova a imparare italiano. Ciao, stammi bene, bella amica mia! Baci!
