Last night turned into an adventure of epic proportions, haha. So I went back to the apartment and just hung out and took a shower before meeting everyone for dinner at 7:15. We trekked all the way past the Piazza Navona to go to Da Baffetta, a pizza place Vicki and everyone else who'd moved in early had been hyping up for weeks. Their original story was that it had been recommended as like the best pizza place in Italy, so they went at the beginning of the program. However, they were exhausted, jet-lagged, and basically delirious when they went. Ishanee thought her margherita pizza was a bit bland, so loopy Vicki went and found some crushed red pepper. Everyone was like, "Oh, it's just like American red pepper!" so Ishanee put it liberally ALL over her pizza, except it turned out to be a million times hotter than American red pepper, and so intense that even the spice-loving Indians couldn't handle it, haha. They were downing all sorts of weird things like parmesan and flat Coke to cure the burn.
Anyway, this is the story we were all thinking about when we went last night. The food took some time to arrive, so we had house wine, played MASH (yes, like from sixth grade, haha), and some Never Have I Ever. The pizza was absolutely incredible (I got cappriciosa, which has mozzarella, artichoke, sausage, and egg!) even if the service was kind of shitty (our waiter was all sorts of cranky, haha). After dinner, we went to Frigidarium, which was hands down the most amazing gelato I've had so far in Italy: I had... wait for it... BAILEYS GELTAO. React! Yeah, MOUTHGASM.
We went back to the apartments for a bit (lots of drinking and Never Have I Ever, I really need to stop playing that game with people who are so freakin' innocent!) before heading out, but clubbing was a bust because the place we wanted to go to was closed, lame. It was at least quite the adventure, taking several buses, night buses, and a taxi around Rome, haha.
Now we're back in the AIRC because we just had a review for our midterms on Monday (boo) but there's a huge gay pride parade going down Via dei Fori Imperiali, rocketing glitter everywhere and blasting Poker Face, LOVE IT! Oh, and I put up my pictures from our long weekend in Florence, Cinque Terre, and Pisa, so check them out! You other P2Rome-ers (okay, besides David, haha) need to start getting y'all's pictures up, jeez.
Ciao, and much love from Roma!
