great idea, right?
yeah we thought so too.
we tried to read the chinese translated to italian translated to english menu
which was a struggle
so we just ordered the safe classics: sesame chicken and orange chicken...
yes, that's soggy chicken soaked in orange juice
yes, it's was as gross as kaitlin's face suggests
even though it was awful, it was a great experience
that's one thing i've learned here...
things don't work how they're supposed to
but you just start to appreciate things for what they are
even if it's literally "orange chicken"
we spent the whole weekend in rome
the colosseum was amazing
we turned in our solo-shot project, so this might be your last one
the inside of the colosseum
below is the maze of trap doors/elevators
what the floor would look like is in the back
arch of constantine
and the sun
dear mom, this is why my feet were so dirty
rough terrain
the stones are about 3" high
notice that everyone is looking down so they don't break their necks
dear mal, i like to copy you
wildflowers
don't you wish ours were this pretty?
the roman forum
"ruins" became a funny word that day
dear em, i found your paradise
tons and tons of delicious, cheap fruit
(i know you don't see the strawberries, but they're there)
today i went to the market & bought 4 apples, 4 bananas, 1 peach, 1 plum, 1 mystery fruit (loquat?) & some green beans for 5 euros
our group in front of a statue of marcus aurelius on capitoline hill
we took this picture at about 5:00
it stays light here until 9
i have this weird liking for taking pictures of ceilings
this is the capitoline museum...
...which houses this incredibly famous statue
founders of rome, anyone?
back by popular demand
dear reb, sorry i'm not sorry
dear alex, happy birthday
today we went to see the schools in ariccia
dear cohort c, i kept thinking of y'all teaching little kids like this
this is a 1st grade class
i'm learning the same things as the first graders
cohort c, consider putting this on your word wall
if i could take some italian babies home, i would
precious girl reading to the class
i think i have 1/16th of her hair
and for today's finale..
red on red on red
