Day 2 - Rome as Home

This is the map of the Rome city center. Vatican city is on the top left corner, then there is the Tiber river and the Colloseo is on the right, slightly off the map. What you see here is practically the touristy parts of Rome. The center(ish) place of gathering of the city is at Piazza Navona, the longish open space that is located slightly above the ring. The Pantheon is slightly to its right.

I live in an apartment at Via St. Anna, marked by the ring. It is close by the Teatro Argentina, the historic center of the city. Historic = Full of ruins. Teatro Argentina is basically a block of sunken ground full of ruins of stairs and columns and the such, all fenced in from the mob of tourists. A well groomed witch's black cat lives there...


This is the view right outside of my triple room window. The room isn't big at all, and was a double fitted to be a triple. There is two chairs, two tables, two cupboards... two of everything except that there is three beds. I hope this won't be a cause of trouble in the future! >.<

The past few days have been spent getting ourselves familiarizing with the neighborhood. I haven't taken my camera out for a walk yet. There is too much to see for now, things beyond the frame of the camera... pickpockets right behind our backs. Tomorrow is is the good witch day (whatever is called), most shops will be closed, but there will be some festivities at Piazza Navona!
