Last Saturday after we finished our Permit to Stay information, a few of us decided we wanted to walk to Saint Peter's Square to see the nativity scene before it is taken down. Ashley, Kelsey and I walked from school to Saint Peter's Basilica.At this point, we still did not know our way around the city. We used a map to get from the Temple Rome "campus" to walk to Saint Peter's. I tend to let Kelsey make the decisions about directions regardless if the decisions are right or not. I am directionally impaired and do not want to lead people in the wrong direction. This was one time Kelsey was not right.
Kelsey ended up leading us around almost the entire Vatican City before we got to Saint Peter's Square. It was a hard walk that was up-hill a majority of the time.
On the way around Vatican City, the three of us saw a man and a woman with a great "invention". The woman stood at the bottom of their apartment building and tied their groceries to a long rope. The man stood on their balcony and pulled the groceries up to their apartment on the fourth floor. Creative.I wanted to lay down by the time we got to Saint Peter's Square. You would think after playing field hockey for 11 years I would be able to get through a walk like that. Stupid Fibromyalgia. We got great pictures of the nativity scene, though.
I haven't asked... what floor do u girls live on and how often do u buy groceries? Great photo eye! Connie Jones
ReplyDeleteWe live on the third floor, so we always take the stairs to our room. Italians buy groceries more frequently than Americans, so I go to the super market a few times a week after class. Things stay fresher longer this way. We will be able to keep this habit up when we return to Philadelphia because the Fresh Grocer was finally completed.
