Bone Crypt

---

Today was a weird day. It was the first day that I did not have class in the morning. So, a small group of us went to Il Convento dei Cappuccino. This church, museum, and crypt have been on my "to-do list" for Rome. The Ossuary crypt was made from bones. There were about 7 different rooms with different designs and concepts.

Seeing the bones in an ornate design was very unsettling. Over 3,700 bodies were used to create the crypt. No words could describe the feeling of seeing these bones laid out. Of course me being a nursing major, I was looking at the different bones and naming them.

After the church, we went one mentor stop over to Spanga to see the iconic Spanish Steps. It was nice because it wasn't busy, but it is very underwhelming. There really is nothing to see except the steps that are in movies and shows.

For dinner, we went back to our favorite place, Osteria dell Anima. The pear pasta was better the second time around!! I wanted to savor this meal, but it was just too good. Then, we walked around and I purchased a street artist's paintings, which are gorgeous!

We went to the Abbey Theater Irish Pub to celebrate one of my friends birthday (it is tomorrow). We had a lot of fun talking to other Americans.

I cannot believe this is week 4!! Time is flying by.

Steps and Bones
So why do they call them the "Spanish Steps"? And imagine the impact arranging bones must have had on the "designers."
