Finally - a day of rest!

Today was fairly uneventful; thank goodness. I slept until 10:30, lounged around until noon or so, and I really only got up then so I could buy fruit from the local stand. I can't even tell you how delicious their fruit and vegetables are. Yum.

I came back, showered, left to get lunch, came back and read - well, napped would be more accurate. This afternoon I went to the local grocery and picked up the rest of our meal. The Southerners I mentioned the other day are leaving Rome tomorrow for Venice, so we decided to get together and make a meal. Turns out it was more of a feast. Bad news is that I didn't get any pictures... I thought I could get the shots off of their camera. No such luck.

Our meal consisted of a salad with oil and balsamic vinegar, bruschetta (toast with olive oil and fresh tomatoes), spinach and ricotta stuffed tortellini, fresh mixed vegetables (some that I have never seen before, but including zucchini, cabbage, carrots), chicken, strawberries and cream, cookies, and wine. What a meal!

Although I didn't get a good shot, I got two funny pics after the meal..

Andrew cutting a hole into his belt (it was too big!) with a corkscrew.

Drew washing dishes; we had a lot! So domestic!

This restful day was much needed. Tomorrow I will hit it hard again.. just not sure what I am going to do. :) Hope you are well!
