Saturday 17 May: Laundry and lemon

Not a whole lot going on today. Gary and I did laundry in preparation for our upcoming trip north. Near the laundry we found the cheapest caffè/bar in all Roma! This gave us a place to go while clothes washed. For the drying cycle we went to a nearby gelateria and had ice cream until clothes were done.

The great high point of the day, though, was when Gary found his new best friend. As I was uploading photos at Good, he went to the fruit stand next door and bought the world’s biggest lemon! Gary is now lemon-obsessed, and we have been taking pics with it all over the place. It will be traveling with us in the near future, so keep an eye on Flickr for it!

For dinner we headed over to Cave Canem (Beware of the Dog in Latin), famous for its stuffed potatoes and its pizza. Gary had pizza with potatoes and sausage, and I had a potato stuffed with sausage and gorgonzola. It was amazing! Early bed in the din of Trastevere.

I can't believe you let Gary eat brains. He will probably have nightmares about fava beans for the rest of his life!
