Nothing cures a little homesickness like a little bit of home!

| AUR! |
 |
| Capitoline Hill! |
I spent the first five days of April with Mom and Grandma (who would now like to be referred to as Nonna).
We had a great weekend of sights, food, and fun! Unfortunately I had class the Monday and Wednesday that they were here, but we did a pretty good job of squeezing in as much as possible. So, here is a little photo-blog post!

| Giolitti! |
 |
| Pantheon! |
On Saturday we met at St. Peters! After some much-needed rest, we went to the Pantheon, where it was PACKED! I guess I underestimated tourist season. After a lovely dinner on Piazza Navona, we strolled over to Giolitti for some of the world's best gelato, and then found my friend the mime!

| MoMo! |
 |
| Papa! (Italian for Pope!) |
Sunday a late bus made me miss seeing the Pope. :\ When I get back to DC, I promise not to complain about the metro as much. We made our way to my apartment and has some Supli! Yum! Then we went up to school, down to Piazza Venezia, Capitoline Hill, and the Forum, and finished the night at MoMo Republic, where I had my Birthday Dinner back in February. MMMMM!

| Florence! |
 |
| My European Shot |
Monday I had class, but we made up for it with a day full of sunshine, sightseeing, and shopping in Florence!
Wednesday I had class again, but Mom and I had a late dinner, hit up Scholar's Irish Pub, and wandered around St. Peter's at 1 in the morning. It was awesome!
I have just under five weeks left. It's going to be five weeks packed full of awesome adventures! Oh yeah, and some of that school stuff too.
It was a great week Em. You are a wonderful tour guide. I still think I was the only mom at Scholar's Pub!
