Can you guess what this is
I did not throw my coin today ... just admired the word after I found a seat. I will return with Brandi and then it will be time to carry out the ritual. Only one coin though .. I only want to return to Rome not fall in love here ...lol Hi All,
Well today I witnessed something I have never witnessed in Rome to date. The pick pockets are out. I read about it in my handy dandy Rick Steves guide book. But my having my A Game out, my backpack is always locked and nothing valuable is in my pockets - I was not taken. But it was unreal. I saw a group of three children swam in and make a ruckus and one of the people natives shooed them out and everyone was checking their pockets. But sadly on the way to Italain class there were tourists who did not have the A Game and they were gotten. Two elderly people, obviously a couple, got both of their wallets. It is very sad. But I am definatley going to be more carefull than I have been.
Today we visited more churches, we visit ALOT of churches. They are free, they have taken lessons from mom. Every morning like clock work we are up and seeing churches. Since I have been waking up at 5:30 am like clock work I have moved my sketching time to around 7:00 to 9:00 which puts me way a head of sketching tasks for
the day (another A Game move). So that means my favorite activity which is people watching and site seeing is something I can do why others are off sketching. So I am very very happy with my new schedule and my sketching is improving. It is a wonder what happens when you do not have things distracting you. So I am going to pass that class after all.
I will put the exact churches and schedules we visted in on Sunday it is much cheaper to use the internet on Sunday than on a weekday. But not before I go to S. Ivo (Borromini's Baroque Masterpiece) They have service from 9:00 am to Noon. The only time you can get into the building. But why everyone is off traveling this weekend, I have decided to stick in Rome and see all those things that my school schedule has not permited me to do. So if you think the post have been a little dry lately think how I feel I have to live them ...lol But even dry over hear is more exciting than dry in my apartment. But none the less do not let the idea of dry fool
Here is where the walking journey Started today
It is said that if you stick you hand in and the mouth dosen't close on it you are an honest person. No dad I did not stick my hand in .. I did not know if there was an allowence made for childhood ...lol you we will have rain till Sat and have had it since this past Sunday. So wet wet wet is what the weather actually is. I know mom and dad have wondered if I bring the rain to FL everytime I come. I would always blame my daughter (as cute as she is). I think I can confirm it is me, and I have explained this to Beaticè ¨but she is not convinced). So I can live in denial land a little while longer. But I sure wish it would rain when we have to be in Studio all day (last two weeks of the month) then I would not want to be out exploring the city.
I have found out that mom's computer is down (I told her to take it to someplace and get it fixed). She is the only women who can update a computer to crash on reboot. But you have to love her she the mama. So she will have much reading to catch up on. But I am envious of you all this week you are moving into the new house we all worked so hard on putting together. Hopefully I will get to
come down this summer should a job not pan out. Well I will finish this update with the places I went and links to their site on SUNDAY. I miss you all very much but you will be happy to know I actually like all of my current roommates, the bad apple went to live with the others and it is kinda a family away from home. Which makes being away from you all hurt a little less. The count down is on ... I will start posting the numbers tommorrow. The first number is the days till Brandi comes and we start our adventure out of school. The second number is the days till I am home. YES there is sooooo much I miss about home, DISHWASHER!!! COFFE POT do you know they do not know what to go coffee is here. Everyone gulps theirs down in ten seconds before they head off to work from baby cups that only hold expresso. You wonder why they drive horribly just imagine if there is 10 cafes on there way to work they could possibly have 10 expresso before the work happens. Which could explain why they need the siesta in the afternoon. The expresso buzz wears off they crash and need a refill or a nap. Well that is my take on the need for siesta which really puts a cramp in when you can go to the supermacato and fresh fruit stands. OK, enough of my complaining after all it is ITALY and I would rather be inconvinced here that at home. Besides maybe I will adjust to the Siesta and start a campagn to implement it back in the US. We all might live longer ...lol
Well I really do have to go but I will finish the post later.
K back to finish post,
We started out the day with a feild Trip to a church
