(picture by Laura Wu)After that the group split up and explore the city. For food and daily grocery. But our group got so lost we bump into a place by the great Michelangelo. Still have no idea what's the house is called. It's Renaissance sure.
After the cool exploration, we ate at a little club place, and did our grocery shopping next door in a local shop. Do you know their milk comes in plastic bottle?
The habit of bringing your own bag is a common practice here. The store workers rolled their eyes at us when we ask for plastic bags. Carrying bags of goodies like Americans, we marched our way back to our dorm. On the way, we passed by some ancient looking temple, was it the Temple of Portunus? That original one which was built back in 1st century?
And I just past by it? We also passed by a cat sanctuary/ruin, right in the middle of the city next to Teatro Argentina, and much more old ancient architecture/sculpture/ruins, walking on Roads the ancient Romans also walked on. The fact that the whole city is populated with common people all these centuries is amazing. Unlike the Forbidden city in Taiwan or other ancient Chinese city, Rome is a flat city, nothing is build beyond 7 stories. Here is a bird eye view, brought to you by a pidgin.
Tonight we girls are going to make our first real home-cooked meal since the landing, and have the blueberry pie from local bakery with dessert wine. Maybe we can get used to this city and stay here forever? lol
Ciao. (goodbye and hello...)
