How I've lived like a Roman today

1. Took the bus to school because it was raining. Otherwise, I would have walked the 1.7 miles.
2. Learned why Rome is walkable in my history course. Since it's founding, the Romans have designed cities for the pedestrian.
3. Walked to the open-air market to buy local fruit and veggies. Some of the best oranges I've ever had come from this market.
4. Walked to the grocery store to buy other necessities and vino. I've learned the only cheap thing in Rome is the wine...and I'm poor...so that's excuse enough for me to drink it a lot.
5. Walked, groceries in hand, up the 125 steps to my apartment. That was my upperbody workout for the day.
6. Took a nice, long siesta. Notice how after all that walking I have to take a nap to recover, or so I tell myself.
7. About to cook dinner while drinking vino.

:) Ahhh...life is sweet in Roma.
