Rose in Rome: A Series of Unfortunate Events

Last Thursday, October 17 I went running with Sister Riveros like I usually do at 6:30 in the morning. We decided to try a new route on the way home. Well it's still pretty dark out and the side walks are bad with the tree roots pushing through the asphalt, that I didn't see this particular one and I stumbled and fell. I landed quite hard on my left side of my body. I caught the fall with my left had a got quite the cut. I had road rash on my shoulder, hip and along my leg. But, I was able to run the rest of the way home knowing I would feel the pains later. And I did. I was bruised and sore for a few days. There is still some tiny bits of asphalt on the palm of my hand and for a while I thought it was infected. But I think it's healing alright.

Two days later I notice my wallet missing and came to the conclusion after I searched everywhere that someone had stolen it. After cancelling my cards I went to the police station and they gave me a paper verifying that it was stolen so I could go to the train station to replace my yearly bus pass that I paid 288,00 euros. I had to pay 7 euros to replace it. My new visa and debit card arrived in the mail in 4 days. I was very impressed. I was angry at first and then just went to work trying to replace and renew things. I lost about 60, euros and the Couch wallet Daniela gave me.

On Saturday 7 of us; Kay, me Anne, Dixie Caroline, Patee and Florence went Silvia Guidars's for a cooking class. We made squash blossoms, zucchini lasagnia, roasted peppers and egg plant, stuffed mushrooms and a meat dish. The we made a chocolate, ricotta torte. While the lasagnia was cooking, Manuele took us to a 13th century town, Quite lovely. Than we came back and ate outside. Really nice day.
