I thought I would make a pre-Easter weekend post about being in such a holy center for this weekend. I don't plan on going to services, especially considering I haven't done much for Passover (cutting carbs out of a diet in Rome is just not really possible), but Gabby and I are looking at Easter Sunday similar to how Inauguration in 2009 was.... tons of people, so wake up and go early and be able to say "Yo, we were in St Peter's Square for Easter"
There are more tourists here than I have seen my entire time in Rome combined. Last night we were meeting my friend in Piazza Venezia around 9something and there were floods of tourists coming back to their hotels from a day of siteseeing and shopping. Normally after like 8 no one is in the streets I feel like.
This weekend also includes nothing being open. Saturday is basically our only chance to go grocery shopping or get anything we'll need, if things are even open Saturday, because the whole country is shut down for Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and then on Easter Monday... whew 5 day weekend for Zoe (since I didn't go to my horrible music class yesterday, but wrote the paper for it so that counts just the same).
We're doing all our paper writing this weekend because Adam comes next Thursday, so I'm writing 4 papers this weekend pretty much (yipee), considering it's kinda overcast today. Tonight we're trying out a new pizza place that Chef Andrea said was the best in Rome, Bir&Fud, so I'll let you know how that goes. But for now, back to my personal memoir... or paper on Killer Queen by Queen, or my paper on Danny Tanner from Full House... yeah I've got an interesting mix going on in my schoolwork.
