Today was our class field trip out to Adriana. Apparently there was a massive bus strike, which kept us from arriving on time, so we didn’t get any free time to wander about the grounds. Instead we followed Ramolo about the villa and heard all about Adrian and his power as a roman emperor to construct this incredible palace just because he could. My notes on the villa filed up several pages in my notebook, but they kept falling out.

After the field trip, Scott, one of my housemates, made dinner for us. He cooked some chicken and then made a topping of tomatoes and onions with some garlic and other spices to put over the fresh fettuccini we purchased the day before. We moved the table from our living room out onto the patio and ate out there while looking out over the city.
