9 november 2019, Italien ⋅ 🌧 55 °F
I knew that something I ate wasn't agreeing with me. I barely made it into the room before I had to make a dash into the bathroom. I told Kathy and Bryan to go and have lunch without me. I'm notLäs mer

A Tasty Lunch

Kathy and Bryan ended up eating at a restaurant called Piccolo Arancio. I'm guessing that Bryan was the one who picked it. Kathy was sending me pictures of the food that they ordered. It looks veryLäs mer

Cooks in Action

It must have been so interesting to watch the cooks making all the food. I would have really enjoyed this. Too bad I'm suck at the hotel trying to figure out how to work the bidet.

Waiting in the Rain

It's no surprise that we decided to wait for a chance to go inside the Pantheon and take a look around. The Pantheon is a bucket list sort of place and all of us were very eager to see it.
