Rome Day 3

Rome trip day 3: The Afternoon

My favorite day in Rome would have to be Wednesday, when we went to this museum called the Borghese Museum. And it was conveniently located next to a giant park called Villa Borghese. Which conveniently had these 4 person bike things called surreys for rent in it. Where mom inconveniently had back pain, ending the fun of the surreys. Don’t get me wrong, the museum itself had some pretty cool stuff in it, like ‘The Hunt of Diana’ and a statue of some princess. But these surrey things, they were pretty cool. They were 2 different bikes, attached together by whatever metal bikes are made out of, and only 1 person steers. I rode up front, and there was a wheel in front of me, but it just wasn’t the same as driving. 

When mom got tired, we stopped, and we then got some gelato and went to wait for the museum to give us our audio guides. We lay in the grass for a while, and then we went into the museum at 5:00 pm. We got done around 8, and had dinner at a sushi place that brought my food out the very last, and it wasn’t even as big as it showed on the picture. So I ended up eating a tiny grilled salmon with chopsticks, and believe me, that is not as easy to eat as it sounds. It wasn’t even sushi salmon, it was just flat out a tiny fillet of salmon. We then went out to try the gelato place across the street for dessert, and it was pretty good. The only thing I didn’t like about it was that I asked for chocolate, tiramisu and eggnog, and the latter pair don’t go so well together. After that, we went back to the hotel, and I read for a while, then went to sleep.

Well, that was the afternoon of Day 3 for me, and I’m sure the others will have tales aplenty to tell, too.

Signing of for now, Colleen
