So I have many things on a checklist for me to do during my lifetime. Although the title of this post wasn't necessarily on the list, it became one as it was completed tonight. So I was washing my clothes in my bathroom when my roommate came in and told me he got this e-mail from this bookstore near the Colloseum. The e-mail informed him that they were celebrating the one year anniversary of their renovation and there was free wine, food, and live music. I heard free wine and I was already a go. So we took his scooter because all the metros and buses were shutdown due to a strike today (more on that later). So during the scooter ride we passed the colloseum, the roman forum, and a bunch of other cool buildings/fountains. Here I am just mesmorized by the sights while my roommate is calm and collected since he sees this stuff all the time. Well anyways, when we get to the bookstore there was a station which reminded me of an open wine bar at a wedding. Italian wine is awesome, but free Italian wine is even better. Plus they had a spread of bread, cheese, and sausage. So like the American I am, I decided to splurge on having 3 glasses of wine and loaded my plates with all the cheese and sausage I could get. The bookstore was pretty much all books in Italians so my roommate apologized because he thought maybe I wasn't having fun and then I was like I'm eating and drinking for free, what more can I want?! I was like...there is nothing in America compared to this. Anyways, that was my fun story for the evening. I hope you enjoyed that.
