Sunday was a very nice relaxing day. Sleeping-in always puts
me in a better mood. I made a nice cup of green tea (with my delicious new
cinnamon honey) and sunny-side up eggs. My favorite part of the day was sitting
on my front porch in my pajamas bundled up in my coat, slippers, and leggings
looking out over the olive trees that span for miles beyond my apartment. My nose
and cheeks became as red a cherry, but the morning sun warmed my back. The air
feels and tastes more fresh and crisp compared to Marylebone. It felt like a
vacation being able to sit outside and hear nothing but birds chirping and the
occasional vespa passing by. It
reminded me of Connecticut, sitting on my back screened-in porch listening to the
waterfall trickle down the stones as it met with the water below. I never
realized how much I missed nature until it became hard to come by.
Later that night, Jess, Tori and I spent hours trying to
plan our trip to Istanbul and Turkey for our weeklong break once arriving in
Roma. We got most of the flight planning out of the way and will finish picking
hostiles within the coming week. I am very excited to see both of these amazing
countries. I have only heard wonderful things about both. I hear the spice
markets are out of this world and Old Constantinople is a must see! I will need
to do some further research on places to visit once I get there. If anyone has
any suggestions it would be very much appreciated! I finished the night sharing
3 bottles of wine with Jess and Tori. It was exactly what I need to fall fast
asleep!
Bona note amici!
