May 30th
Today we simply Shopped, Shopped and Shopped some more. Guilia, Rosa, and Luca took us to Euroma 2 the largest shopping mall in Europe…it was insane. So we were able to buy some stylish Italian clothes and shoes for me. Then we stopped for lunch… What an ordeal for a couple of kebab panninni’s. I learned this trip that with a bunch of Italians everything is a bit of an ordeal, it’s just the way they are.
After lunch, we did a little more shopping and headed home for a short rest, before yep you guessed it, MORE shopping.
They took us to the center of a small town on a Saturday, the entire town was there, and more since they were having a flower festival. The children of this town covered one of the streets with murals composed entirely of flower petals and plant materials. It was remarkably beautiful. (The communist party of Italy was also there soliciting support, which was extremely odd, I was unaware they were trying to make a comeback in the country).
Then we returned home for dinner, Scuie Scuie with Peas, followed by MORE OYSTERS (are you kidding me?). Then we took a family outing to Castel Grandolfo (the Pope’s summer Palace), for gelato. We basically ate gelato on the Pope’s porch, it was severely cold for gelato, but super tasty. While we were eating our gelato their was an astronomy lesson going on in the Piazza, which of course we couldn’t understand. They had some telescopes set up though where we were able to see the moon in detail, and then a tiny Saturn with its spec of a moon, which was pretty amazing. Another day done, one more before we head home.
