My various coking adventures, whether successes or failures, I promise they all began as a delicious idea.

The morning began a little later which was magical because we have been run to the ground and ache in every way possible but after a goodnights rest I was set to explore Rome again. It was a short day with only 3 churches all together before we were turned loose on Rome and every single one offered something unique. The first was the church of bones...just as disturbing as it sounds, some of the complete skeletons still had skin and hair but the two worst parts were the bone chandeliers (I didn't like that I could walk right under them) and the last room had some baby skeletons in it that really got to me. No pictures to follow because we weren't allowed to take any. The second church we walked in on a couple renewing their vows for their 50 wedding anniversary and in the last church we walked in on a baptism. Thee prayer forgave the baby for his sins and I was so grateful that we have the truth and know that infants are innocent! After that we were set loose and began to wander. The group slowly broke down Into smaller ones and eventually yielded the perfect combination of Mary Molly Berkeley and myself. We stopped at an adorable cafe in the most picturesque neighborhood in Rome (trastevere)for a delicious lunch in the beautiful spring weather while a man serenaded us with an accordion. Roaming Rome (baha imfunny) is the most delightful experience so we just did it until after dinner and then were going to meet the YSA group for the avengers movie but they ended up going to The 3d one so we deferred until a later date and continued to roam. Berkeley, Elizabeth, Carson and I ventured off into the great unknown of cinecitta anxiously guessing what wonders it could hold and guess what we found?! A closed building...a large freeway and the most gorgeous full moon ever! But it was all sketchy feeling so to calm ourselves we returned to our favorite gelateria and sweeted away all the creepiness with the most delicious gelato of all. What a perfect end to a perfect day...well almost end, the party is just getting started in the hotel so I'll see y'all later.
