After a wonderful sleep last night (I was out the moment my head hit the pillow), I woke up a little after 7 with no alarm. Got up, did my morning stuff, had a cup of coffee and an apple, then packed up for a run. I have been getting down lately as I consider the short time I have left here, with still so much to see. That being said, I had planned to run for a long time today. I set out towards the Trastevere and ran through Parco Pamphili. It is huge! After a big loop around, I got back to the Tiber and ran alongside it until I reached the Piazza del Popolo and then into the Villa Borghese and back home. 18.2 miles in 2:25:47; the nice long run I was hoping for.
I got back, made some eggs, and then started on my puzzle until Caleb, Katherine, Dr. D, Kristen, and I went to an amazing gelato place tucked in a corner close to Piazza Navona. True artisan gelato and Thursday we are going back to watch a demonstration of how it's made! I got chocolate/wine, ricotta cheese almond and fig, and watermelon. The cheese/almond/fig has been my favorite flavor of the trip. I'm gonna need to get me some ricotta when I get home.
We walked around the Piazza, I got my handstand picture, and then we headed back. Dr. D and I decided to go to "Momart" for dinner and we would be meeting at 7. Until then we watched the Poland-Greece football game. At around 7 (halftime of the game), we met with Hailey, Christal, and Morrissa and walked to Momart. 10 euro for a buffet of seriously good food. Pizza was great, pasta was great. We walked back and watched a little bit of the Russia-Czech Republic game and then put on Gladiator! Unfortunately, I was very tired so I only watched a little, then got ready for bed and was asleep probably before 10.
It was a good day. High 80's but didn't feel too hot because of the low humidity.
