I forgot to mention, i guess, in the last post that I went to porta portese and got a bike. It was fairly cheap and came with a basket, lock and helmet. (dont worry mom) It has working brakes and everything. Traffic is kind of scary, but it's not all that different from Boston and there are enough charming little side streets that I can maneuver fairly easily.
Anyway, it's totally liberating. The other day I went way down south, past Testaccio and found San Paolo cathedral. I don't know how I didn't know about this place - It's probably the biggest open space I have ever seen and I definitely need to go back when I have more time. Since it was so out of the way, too, it was almost completely empty. It was really great to be able to just go, though, and I'm now going to be able to feel more grounded in Rome, as opposed to being on a really long vacation.
Tonight is Thanksgiving! I'm thrilled. I woke up early this morning to make Tiramisu and I hope it turns out okay. I'm really glad my class is at a different time than everyone elses because the kitchens are going to be absolutely nuts in a few minutes.
