Sibling Bonding


Adam landed Thursday night for a 9 or 10 day stay in Rome with me. Haven't seen him since December so it is really nice to have him around and show him everything here. Friday morning we got up and did (hope you're ready) Pantheon, Trevi, Spanish Steps, Campidoglio, Il Vittoriano (Wedding Cake Building and went in it too) and the Jewish Ghetto. Then we stopped at Dar Poeta for a late lunch and took a walk before coming home for an epic 3 hour nap.
Once we got up and moving we went to dinner in the Trastevere area. Everyone at AUR had been talking about a restaurant "Toni's" for a while but I'd never been, so we decided to stop by there. It was amazing. Way too much food, but absolutely delicious. We got bruschetta to start, which came with a salmon and cream one (which oddly was my fave), traditional tomato then an olive and cream one. I got a baked lamb dish for dinner and Adam got gnocchi in tomato sauce and veal in gorgonzola sauce. We shared everything more or less and it was all soooooo good. The guy next to us got a HUGE and i mean HUUUUGE steak, which we may go back to share later next week because it looked good and he said it was delicious.
Today we were supposed to do a picnic, but it's all cloudy, so we'll see what happens, but for now I'm off to shower since quiet hours don't let me shower after like 10pm and early tomorrow morning we're off to the Amalfi Coast!
