We were planning on going to St. Peter's Basilica this day, but after TTSSMO was over... we really needed a chill day. I had slept for 13 hours and felt pretty groggy. We both agreed to relax for the day and prepare for our friends, Maddie and Devin to come over. We went to the market and got veggies, chicken, and pasta.
We went back to the apartment to drop off groceries and headed to a place called Fabio for lunch. It had good reviews and was close. I was feeling pretty shaky by this time because I hadn't eaten much after my sleeping binge. There was a line out the door, which is always a good sign to me. The place was being run by two guys, kind of like I Due Fratinelli, but not as speedy. We got sandwiches and fresh squeezed juice (carrot and peach). I felt pretty good while there because I helped a French girl translate some of the menu with my knowledge of Italian.
After eating we went back to rest more and pick up the apartment. Maddie and Devin arrived and we showed them around our apartment. I'm glad they could come over because I felt we needed to use the space a bit! They complimented the apartment and I said, "I feel like I should say 'thank you,' but it's not mine!" We ate pasta with roasted veggies and chicken, bread, and salad. We visited a while and then went for gelato. I had pistacchio and dark chocolate which has been my favorite combo so far.
We said good bye to Maddie and Devin as it would be our last time seeing them in Italy. They headed off to Amsterdam and then back to France. It was so nice to share our time with them. It gave us people to share our daily experiences with while here, and a bit of fresh air to our conversations. Craig even mentioned traveling to Ireland with them! I'm so on board for that!
