Started today off the right way: a run! Just did 2.75 miles because my knees were hurting a bit and I couldn't find what I was looking for. Came back and had bread, jam, banana, yogurt, and coffee at my favorite spot (the balcony) while I read My Utmost For His Highest as well as some scripture. After breakfast, I changed and headed to mass with Katherine and Jessica. We went to "Chiesa Santa Susanna" which is an American Catholic Church in the middle of the city. It was very interesting but enjoyable; definitely not what I'm used to but a cool experience nonetheless. The church was beautiful!!
Got back to the convent and had some leftovers then after a little while went to the park to do a workout. At that point I could tell we were going to get some rain today. After my workout I decided I would NOT spend the day inside and instead went to the Piazza Navona/Pantheon area to wander/shop/get my first cappucino! The cappucino was great and I will probably have many more while I'm here. It started raining while I was out but luckily I brought my poncho. I'm definitely getting used to the bus system and that is helping a lot.
Came back to the convent, chilled out, did another workout (yeah, I know) and then made a frozen pizza and put some fish on it! We had a meeting today to discuss the readings we did in Andy Crouch's Culture Making book. We also discussed the week and cooking arrangements then went out for some gelato! I got Pistachio and Biscotto and it was de-lish!
Tomorrow we have an early start as we head to THE COLISEUM and the Forum. We will have a tour guide and it is going to be amazing. Rain or shine, words cannot express how excited I am.
God bless you all! Ciao!
