Of a Cozy Little Abode



These are the two bedrooms that two other girls and I are sharing. There's kitschy little throw pillows and blankets everywhere with patterns that completely clash -- and I love it! Random artwork scatters the walls and the rustic tile floor is toasty warm at random times. And oh yes, somehow, they gave me the big double bed in the photo to the right. All the better to flay out my arms and legs at night. =)

Gelato of the Day: San Crispino's Vanilla Creme with Honey ~ The best thus far! Its been rated by the NY Times and is located right by the Fontaine de Trevi, which is 2 min. away from my apt. And although I feel lame for liking something that's already been voted the best gelato in all of Rome, who cares?! It's heavennnn.

Funny Story of the Day a.k.a. Faith's Miscommunication Tales: I wanted to find Bulmer's Irish Hard Cider which I've craved since London last year and I swear I spotted it in a store. So I asked the shopkeeper if they carried it and he goes "B?" like "Bee"? and proceeds to flap his arms like a buzzing bee. So I go "Yes! That's it, it starts with a "B". He gets very very excited and I follow him to an aisle where he proudly presents me with ... a jar of honey. Oops. So my next mission is to track down that cider!

  3. If you want to look for that cider still, you should say Bulmer's Irish Hard Cider in a bad Irish accent. :)
