Lesson #58 I miss my pasta!

     After eating nothing but pasta for 2 months, not eating it for a week was strange . . . very very strange. During our Fall break Kali, Kristy, Laurel and I went to Paris, London and Dublin! For this excursion, we only had one rule: NO ITALIAN FOOD. Which basically meant no carbohydrates in pasta or pizza form . . . Well, I missed my carbs! We ate french onion soup, delicious Parisian sandwiches, fish and chips, burgers, the European equivalent to a burrito and of course hearty irish food!

    Unfortunately, I chose Italy for it's delicious and nutritious pasta choices :)

     So, Lesson #58: LOVE PASTA

Lesson #57 Did you know there is a train station there?

     Trastevere is one of the biggest residential neighborhoods in Rome! There is even a train station there!!!!!!! Well, we lived on Viale di Trastevere for about a month without knowing where exactly the train station is . . . Pathetic, I know. Well, it gets worse . . . When we finally found the train station we realized it was only a block away from our apartment. Yep, only ONE BLOCK! Yah . . . . knowing that probably would have helped us get to the beach in less than 3 hours . . . but what kind of adventure would that be?

     Here is the view from our apartment and the little red arrow is the train station . . . embarrassing . . .

     So, Lesson #57: Read a map and learn what's around you . . .
