Monday was very nice. Jessie, Molly, and I walked from our hostel toward the gardens and did some shopping along the way. We stopped mostly at boutique-y stores but we did stop in at H&M. Molly went to go meet up with some of her friends that were visiting from their study abroad program in Ireland. Jess and I found our way to the gardens where. I was impressed with the amount of grass they had in these gardens considering Rome doesn’t really have any. We went up on a hill and lay down. I fell asleep almost immediately and Jessie read our travel book on Greece and eventually fell asleep.
I woke up with bird poo on my shoulder and grass marks all over my legs, but very well rested… so that’s a plus. After that we walked to go get gelato and since Jessie knew the man working there, he gave us HUGE scoops. MMM I am going to miss that. We then went to a grocery store to buy Fragolina, which is strawberry wine/champagne.
Dinner was at a place that translated to “The Mustache” or something with mustache in it. It is considered one of the best pizza places in the area. When we asked for a table, the owner- a cute old man with a mustache- pointed to each of us saying “one, two, three” in Italian and then added himself as our fourth dinner guest.
After pizza we found a cute café to sit in and then walked down to Piazza Navona. We walked around and drank our Fragolina and looked at the vendors’ paintings. Our night finished when our wine did. We went back to our International House of Women Hostel and packed up so we were ready to go to Greece!
