Soy irlandesa, y tu?: I'm Irish, and you?

The Rome students are gone which means we are officially living in their apartments at Campo de Fiore. Today was one of my favorite yet...the old stuff. haha.

Not too much to say, especially not anything that could explain what people have tried to understand for thousands of years...

Colosseum

Just hanging out...siesta in Roma

Oh you know...just some crumbled columns from God only knows when...


The Forum...well--a view toward the city from the Forum.


The day is coming to an end...a silhouette at Forum

Forum
After Forum, we climbed the steps to Piazza del Campidoglio to sketch. We were super-tired but it was a good time, just the same.

Soon thereafter it was time for some dinner...so we used our super-tracking skills to find the grocery store sans the help of the native Rome students...I thought the vegetable section had quite a unique look to it.

Who doesn't have italian food on St. Patty's day?! We were eating like Kings, or something, to the sounds of the raucous outside in the square...which some brave souls were courageous enough to enter into.


I decided to play the "lookout" from above.
Apparently St. Patrick's Day means the same thing no matter what country you are in...especially when Ireland beats Italy in Rugby the same day!
