i ate gelato for dinner

but really...i had 5 scoops of gelato for dinner. it was unintentional, but i LOVED it.
coffee, banana, coconut, strawberry, & pineapple; this could become a problem.

i'm really just trying to fatten this place up a little bit. everything here is skinny. the buses, coke cans, sidewalks, people. i keep feeling like i'm about to fall off the sidewalk. it's like walking on a beam.

anyway, i've never been somewhere so old. this place was around before Jesus. that wasn't a joke, i'm being serious. the architecture is gorgeous. i'll post more pictures soon.

i need to learn more italian. i thought everyone would understand some english...i was wrong. currently i'm trying to use "ciao" to mean everything. hello/goodbye/thankyou/please/what/that/anything else i need to say. the italians love to say "hello" to us, and we respond with ciao. it's pretty much the only word that we know of the others' language. eek.

we went to the grocery store today. i've never been so appreciative of the pictures on the foods i'm buying. who knows what i came home with.

i have to do a presentation on albano laziale tomorrow, so ciao!
