The Rest of Adam's Visit


Adam left a few hours ago to head back to San Fransisco, and his visit really went way too fast. We had a lot of fun hanging out around the city and looking at different parts I hadn't been also. I sent him to the Colosseum and Vatican on his own while I was in classes, but we still did a lot of other things together.
Wednesday (after we got back from our getaway) I had class all day, so he did the Colosseum and adventured on his own. I was exhausted because I had 2 papers due that day, an oral exam and a quiz, so I just cooked us some dinner and took an easy night. Thursday we got lunch near school and I sent him to the Vatican for some culture. Later that night we went to Le Fate for dinner and walked around Trastevere. Friday we spent pretty much all afternoon in Villa Borghese Park (honestly probably one of my favorite spots in Rome), hanging out, I took a nap, and then had some beers by the Pantheon. That night we tried a pizza place I've been wanting to for a while, Bir&Fud. It was reallllly good. Although the wait was like an hour and I got way too full, it was delicious and well worth the wait.
Saturday, Gabby Adam and I took a field trip out to Nettuno (about an hour train ride away). We spent the day semi-hawaiian style with a picnic on the beach and sleeping in the sun all day. I got real burnt, but it's already turned to tan over night, so at least I'm not THAT haole right? Then we went back to Tony's for dinner, had some penne alla vodka and steak and then walked around Trastevere people watching. He had to wake up at 3:45 to get to the airport, which was not a fun experience, and quite the adventure, but overall it was a really nice visit and I'm so glad he was able to come out and see me and we could spend 10 days together. Now... Finals mode.
