9/8
- The picture above is the Villa Farnesina- apparently one of the richest men in Rome built this house and he would have wild house parties and then tell his guests to throw the gold silverware into the river after dinner just to show how rich he was. but he always had a net at the bottom to catch it.
- well it was 4 euros to get in for students. and there was an upstairs and downstairs w/ lots of frescoes. but we weren't supposed to take any pictures! alley (one of the roomies) took a pic of the hallway which was really pretty- something out of a fancy hotel. but i don't have the pic in my possession.
- also, i think most of the place was being renovated so some things were closed off which kinda sucks.
- Having some time before school, we went to the Botanical Gardens which was only like a block away. 4 euros.
- most of the pretty plants weren't in bloom- orchids, roses, and lilies. but it was nice walk and on top of the garden, near the japanese garden part, there was a really good view. but i would only recommend coming here in late spring when flowers are actually in bloom.
