I woke up this morning when my friend.....you know what? You might as well just know his name. My friend is Chris. I've known him since freshman year of high school, and this is his third trip to Europe. It's weird that I actually know him better than his first girlfriend who introduced us.
Anyways, I woke up when Chris turned on all the lights when he came back from his morning walk to see the Trevi fountain. I guess he wanted to see the fountain without the crowds. It's like a beach during the day, because the area is packed with people. During his walk, Chris said that he had an idea. He thinks that in order to get me adjusted to the time difference, and give me more energy during the day, I need to eat alot more than what I have during the past few days.
I've decided to give this a try, because, if it works, that'll be great, but I'm also glad that he's giving me permission to pig out. Everywhere I go, I smell food, and it makes my mouth water. Now all this talking about food is making me starving. But there is still an hour to go before the buffet is open. I think I might have some brownies in my backpack.
Just had breakfast, Chris loaded up the plates for me, and made me eat everything. I had enough eggs for 5 people, 10 strips of bacon, 3 cups of yogurt, 4 danishes, 6 slices of toast, 4 bread rolls, 5 cups of fruit, and 3 bowls of cereal. I feel really full now, I even had to undo a couple loops on my belt.
After breakfast, Chris and I went to all the ruins. I don't get how he finds it interesting, but it's cute to watch him geek out over a pile of rocks. I am interested in new Rome, modern Rome, but he likes all the old ancient Rome.
I do have to say though, the Colosseum was pretty fucking awesome. I actually learned some things about it. Like that it wasn't just for gladiator fights, (even though that's the coolest part). I think I'd make an awesome gladiator, *flexes my biceps and pecs* nobody could beat me, haha.
I have to admit that I was expecting alot of bears in Italy, but most of them here are actually cats. The guys are cute and skinny, and I just want to grab them by the tail and take them to bed with me. I do like bears too, but there don't seem to be any. They must be in the other parts of Italy.
We got lunch after going to the Pantheon, and it was the best lunch I've had in a long time. First we got bread, and I was so hungry after all the walking that I ate it all, luckily Chris didn't mind. Then we got our appetizers, I ate mine, but Chris didn't finish his (so I finished it for him). Then we each got salad, and soup. Then a bowl of pasta, (again, I finished Chris'). And then we got our main course. I had the most amazing pizza, it was a plain pizza, but the quality of the ingredients was awesome! (if he can geek out about rocks, I can geek out about food). He got some fish dish in a red sauce, and I had to try it, but he didn't want the rest, so I ate it. When we finished lunch, Chris was surprised with how much I ate, so he wanted to see how much I could pack in. We found this little place that has giant bowls of gelato, so I got one filled with dark chocolate, and the thickest whipped cream I've ever had. Somehow I was able to eat it all (I probably had a ton on my face). After that, Chris decided to reward me with some cannoli. So we got 20, and I thought he was gonna have half, but he got them all for me. So now I'm relaxing in the room with Chris while I'm eating the cannoli. They're so friggin' good, you can't leave Rome without having one.
It's around 7:00 here, and we just had dinner. I had a large bowl of pasta with mussels and clams in a white sauce. I liked to dip my bread in the sauce, bread is the greatest invention of all time. I'm officially stuffed, I don't even know how much I've eaten today in grand total, but I had to undo the button on my pants and the bottom two buttons on my shirt. *pats my belly* I gotta find a gym, I can't just let this gut stay here. Chris has already made a few jokes since breakfast about how I look I've been getting more pregnant throughout the day with each meal. *rubs my stomach* He calls it my "food-baby".
Now that I'm laying down on the bed, I realize just how tired and sore I am. I blame the gut for the added weight I have to lug around. I want someone to give me a massage. A good back and foot rub would be nice right about now. I wish they had a China town here. There always seems to be a place where they'll massage your feet in China Town. Maybe I can get Chris to give me a back massage. He must know something about it, because he dated a masseuse. Whatever, I'll just try to sleep it off.
