It rained today for the first time since we have all been here in Rome. We all went out into the courtyard and danced around like little children. It's been so hot here...we really needed the rain.
Thank God it didn't rain last night though. Jeff (a fellow classmate) and I went out for some amazing tiramisu at Pompi and went walking around Rome to see the monuments in the dark. We ended up taking a 7 hour trek, getting lost for a few hours in the windier parts of Trastevere. I got home at 3:30 am...but it was an amazing, spontaneous tour of Rome. For part of it I was afraid that we had walked out of Rome completely.
So yeah, it's a rainy Saturday. We might be off to Pisa and Florence tomorrow if we choose to get up and buy train tickets. We shall see.
Oh! We went to Tivoli yesterday too! It's this beautiful town outside of Rome that has a beautiful villa with dozens of fountains. They town itself was a lot calmer than Rome (which is one notch down from a NYC pace). We walked along the winding cobblestone streets looking into shops. We found a delicious little bakery with cannolis and tiny fruit pastries. It is definitely somewhere I would travel to again.
