Day 9: Saturday
Lazy Saturday! I finally got to sleep in, waking up at 11am. I showered, but I had hot water for all of five seconds, then I had to wait a couple minutes for it to turn hot again, which is really annoying. The shower is annoying enough because it’s soooo tiny, and there’s nowhere to put the shower head, so you have to hold it and put it down to shampoo your hair and everything. After my shower, I realized I didn’t have any milk, so I had yogurt for breakfast. Then Kari and Kelly and I went to the grocery store where I was able to get milk. When we got back I made lunch: penne pasta with tomato sauce and grated cheese. I was pretty proud of myself! Then I decided it was time to get some reading done, so I read some of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, but gave up and took a nap, which lasted until about 5:30pm. Then I made myself some sandwiches for dinner and continued reading. Around 9:30 we decided to go get gelato and hang out with the boys, so Kari, David, Joe, Brandon, Dylan, and I went back to the gelato/bar place from last weekend and this time I got some chocolate kind that I didn’t know how to pronounce. Then we had fun just hanging out in the room for the rest of the night. We decided to get up early and go to the Vatican tomorrow, which I am really looking forward to, despite not being a Catholic. The mere history held within the walls of Vatican City is amazing, and there’s no way to pass that up, no matter what religious beliefs one holds. And maybe I'll see some cute Swiss Guards!
