Mega Update

Chances are if you're reading this I want to have a pool party with you when everyone gets back.

Food

Number of ham and cheese sandwiches I've had: 37

Most deceptive sandwich that ended up being a ham and cheese: "Pizza" with slices of ham under the cheese instead of tomato sauce.

Best Thing Ever: Nutella Gelato in Rome.

Living

Today is my first day without the brace. I even worked out in a ridiculous Spanish gym. All the TVs show obscure Olympic sports and they only play old school Gangsta' rap. So while I'm watching cross country skiing, Scarface is blasting in the background. I'm glad I'm doing my rehabilitation here. Even though I'm using ridiculously light weights so are all the other Spanish men...well after their pilates class.

I've obviously broken more rules but they're more or less the same or combinations of the ones I've previously posted. She keeps telling the cleaning lady not to clean my room because its too dirty...then yells at me for my room not being tidy. Anyway...

Rome

I went to Rome last weekend and stayed for free at my friend's apartment. I felt pretty dumb not having a camera at Vatican City...since every square inch is priceless art in some form or another.


Outside of tourist-y stuff we also went to a local Italian comic book shop where I picked up the most ridiculous Dylan Dogs I could find. There were a few professional superhero artists when we went and asked them to draw us as superheroes. I guess they thought we meant Spiderman...

Fun Fact Rome Edition: The toilets at The Vatican are literally holes in the ground.

Carnival

Since I wasn't tired from traveling to Rome or anything, I went to the small town of Sitges on Fat Tuesday for the last day Carnival. I'm not sure if I can ever really go to another party again. The TOWN was closed off because of the massive parade and the fact that 10000+ people were celebrating in costumes ranging to toilets to a group of 6 moose. I bought an entire rotiseree chicken and bottle of Sangria for under 10 Euro and ran around town in my star hoodie (pictures of that coming soon). Since I had 2 midterms and a Spanish presentation the next morning we called it quits early and I got back at 4 A.M.

Bonus Fun Fact: I know someone named Sarah Hamburger.
