ok so today rachel and i had photography today- we are getting to be such professionals. We went to Piazza Navona to take the pics and they were filming a movie! I didnt see any movie stars though...after school rachel and i got caught in a political  demonstration and the stupid Italian police wouldn't let us through so we had to go this round about way. HOWEVER, we met up with bri and went to this restaurant that was a little fancy but guess what I had for lunch...HUMMUS! finally, i can't believe i went an entire month without eating hummus. but i devoured my plate and then i went to to the Jewish quarter and found some more hummus at a jewish grocery store but that hummus tasted like glue. i am just going to have to live at that restaurant. but italian hummus doesn't even come close to athenos in america... gahh how i miss it! roma has had great weather and we have been walking our butts off but its still pretty chilly! On friday we are going on a day trip to Tivoli and Villa D'Este and then saturday we are going to a soccer game which should be interesting...i will update yall again soon! Ciao!
