O.K the morning started off with a late late start being that we all-minus Kiki drank too much at dinner the night before... OPPS, that's what vacation in ITALY is for right? late nights and later mornings :)
We rolled out of bed about 12pm, which is very late for our standards. We were all super sore from our climbing adventure the day before. We looked like a hung over geriatric ward in Rome!! Pa-thetic ;)
We finally get moving, slowly but surely, and arrive at the Cololsseum. WOAH!! its amazing. I has visions of gladiators, washboard abs and all, running about as we walked on the same dirty they did so many years ago. It was thankfully very overcast during our adventure, making for a much easier day out in the daylight.
We explored the Roman Forum and more of the Colosseum, still in AWE!
We headed home to change and head out for dinner.
Dinner here lasts at least 3 hours. They leave us time to digest and get properly drunk off too much wine I suppose haha
Its amazing here how I can drink, or how much I DO drink lol I just can't pass up on ITALIAN wine, I feel it's bad Karma.
So we headed to dinner around the corner at Zi'Umberto. It was recommended to us by our Landlord Pierto. DELICIOUS!! there was a perfect blend of locals and then US lol
Im in awe by the Italian culture. They have this innate ability to just ENJOY things. Enjoy life, love, food, a cigarette anything really.
They are just EVERYWHERE just simply living and living simply! IT'S AMAZING!
So, the story of the night goes, Toasted pita (Carly) goes, "Kris, Ill buy you dinner if you ask these boys for a cigarette. They boys had been previous enamoured by us since we sat down. I mean, please you'd think they had never seen two amazingly beautiful American girls before right, I mean please hahahaha
So I, drunk off about a Liter of Red wine (delicous I might add) goes over to the boys and makes the universal sign for a cigarette. Ya know the sign, the two fingers out and the movement to your mouth... DUH the universal cigarette sign. The boys accepted passed me what I asked for and I go back to the table.
Well, much to my naive surprise, IT WAS A JOINT!!!!! LOL
I went over asking for a cigarette and they GAVE ME A JOINT- the best part of it all was that I had NO IDEA it wasn't a cigarette!! hahahah
laugh away go ahead Im stoonada!!!!!!!
We finish our dinner head off to the apartment, drop off the old married couple and head back out! We hit up the little bar around the corner from our house, DELIGHTFUL! uber uber cute
Totally weird thought that they made us pay before we got our drinks, strange right??
soo we meet a few boys, get to chatting more and the next thing we know everyone else is gone it's us and the boys and the fantastic 5am Italian AIr. We head off home and sleep soundly :)
I wake up at 10am to Carly laughing hysterically at my hand. Apparently I had gotten Claudio's "digits" on my hand LOL
whoop whoop that's how I roll in ITALIA ;)
More to follow...
