Continued.

We found a really, really big building referred to as 'the wedding cake'. I guess It was made by the first king of Italy in 1860. Basically its a huge controversy because its a monstrosity, and he may or may not have had ancient history torn down to build it. Shame, shame, shame. We just kind of looked at it, thinking, it probably looks pretty on the inside, thinking of our poor, poor feet, and went to have lunch. To your left is lunch. It was a bit pricy, actually very pricy, but kind of worth it for our exhausted levels at the time. What you see is very good. It's tomato with mozzarella on top with olive oil drizzled on top. super good.

Then we went to a museum about the different Forums over... the years. There were a few.

The next day we went to Austia Antica. That is a city kind of like Pompeii, but instead of a volcano, it was actually covered in mud by a river chainging coarse. Crazy stuff. The craziest part was probably the Mosaics on the floors; because you know, it's normal and stuff for offices to have mosaics of the services they have. That's what every business I've ever been to has. So, this would be an example of an

 office that offers it's tetris skills.  Actually some of them had boats and fish and castles with confetti coming out the top.

So I forgot a critical part of our day. Before we ever got to this place, we had a breakfast adventure. A really good one this time. So we are coming out from the train stop and we see this little breakfast place. This place just happened to be the place where we met Italian juice. Italian juice was known as mystery juice for a really long time. But now, we know their secret... no super crazy cancer causing preservatives and sweeteners, and a whole lot of awesomeness in the mix. And sometimes they add fruit. Actually that is false. They always add fruit.

That night we had a photo shoot of the Colosseum, and then we went back.


So Sunday was an interesting day. We went to church. That sentence contains so much frustration you wouldn't even know. Have you ever missed a bus twice? Well, it's possible if you're here in grand ol' Italy. If the bus is late, it doesn't stop for little stops. Even if there are people there. Ugh. So we found a taxi. Then we went to the Pantheon. Crazy big. and Crazy square and sphere-esque. And it's rather old. and fantastic. And there's a giant hole in the top. They missed a spot. Romans. Cant count on them. Haha.

That night we had... lots and lots of food. Lots and lots. Because it is completely impossible to have too much food from Italians. We had crazy good food. Ravioli, lasagna, melon with salty ham, really big messy toast with tomatoes and rocket lettuce (Bruschetta), and... watermelon. Why watermelon? because they came over with a plate with a huge thing of watermelon on it and said 'on the house'. that's why we had watermelon. Then we decided not to have our nightly ice cream.

That night, we watched closing ceremonies. Crazy right? Awesome. Favorite part was the news paper everywhere. And the... wide variety of fantastic costumes. The whole thing gave me dreams that night that were... less than normal.

Today! so we.. slept in. And then we did some laundry. Holy point Italy. They take care of all of your laundry. You can leave. When you come back after some shopping, your laundry is folded, in a giant bag with your name on it. Love them. Then we tried some Italian candy. I hope there is enough for the rest of you when we come back. All I'll say here: Milk, and honey.
Chips: Beef flavored=good.really good.
Breakfast: doughnut: chocolate frosting, sprinkles, cut in half and filled with Nutella. Doughnuts will never be the same for me.
Crypt: Creepy, but crazy pretty, and I wasn't allowed to take pictures... so you'll have to wait.
Nutella to go: comes with a straw. and Juice.
My next post will be about Pizza Boom, and the Vatican.
