You don’t understand how long I’ve waited to go to Gelaterie Fatamorgana to try the tobacco-chocolate gelato. Anyway I took the metro from Termini to Ottaviano, walked away from the Vatican towards the residential district, and soon found it. I got three flavors: zabaglione and Greek yogurt were the other two. They were all very delicious and I inhaled the damn thing in two minutes. So good.
With 7 days left in Rome, my work here is done.

* Soooo this photo was actually taken last week at a Chinese restaurant. This will have to do, because I forgot to bring a camera to tonight’s dinner outing. I blame Tumblr.

We spent most of this morning on the Via Appia. First stop was the tomb of Cecilia Metella, then Circus Maxentius, which is now just a vast expanse of barely-mowed grass, with some walls left behind. But just in case you didn’t think that was fun enough, we had to walk another mile or so in the hot Roman sun, through thistles and blind curves with crazy Roman drivers and garbage trucks and dead cats with ribs sticking out, to make it to this site, the sepulchre of Annia Regilla, Herodes Atticus’ wife whom he may or may not have had killed.
Then, caked in 5 layers of dirt and sunburnt, we went to a McDonald’s for lunch.
