So I just got done making myself a wonderful lunch. I cooked up some chicken breast, which i had bought earlier in the week, which i then threw into a sauce that already has cheese in it. After that i cooked up some noddles and had some makeshift chicken parmesan. Joe 1 Cooking 0.
Yesterday we had a wonderful little class where you talked about the kings of Rome, and how good they were, until they got to the Tarquins, and then it was about how bad they were. Besides that class went by relatively fast at which point me and my friends went to what is called the "typewriter". It is actually the monument to Victor Emanuel II who was the King who united Italy in the late 1800s. Why they call it a typewriter i do not know, because i dont think it looks like one, it is also called the "wedding cake". I also dont see that. It just looks really big! Anyhow we went up to the top where you can see the entire city on all sides. It was rather wonderful seeing all that is Rome. You could see the Colosseum, which was rather close, the Forum, which was right next to the monument, and the Vatican off in the distance on the other side of the river.
Speaking of the Colosseum, I keep forgeting to post an interesting tid bit about it. They have just recently found out that instead of being built with public funds, which was the traditional thought, it was actually built with money from the sack of Jerusalem. Go figure.
Lastly after taking some very nice group pictures we all went home and relaxed for the rest of the day. Then today we had class and I just ate lunch. Yep not too much going on. Plan to go do some paperwork things that I need taking care of, and then traveling to the pantheon again? we shall see.
