Mangia Mangia!

This weekend we stayed in Roma, which was actually really exciting because everyday when I go to and from school, my Rome to do list multiplies, so I was perfectly content to spend the weekend exploring my new city. On Friday night we went to a traditional Italian aperitivo in Campo di Fiori, which was glorious! An aperitivo is basically happy hour, but when you buy a drink that's a minimum of 5 euro, you get an all-you-can-eat buffet for free! Katie and I decided to try one of the restaurant's specialty beers, and since we had never heard of any of them, we went for the one with the best logo, which was La Chouffe, because it had a cute little picture of a gnome on the bottle. As a result, we learned to never judge a beer by it's cover! Despite the cute logo, the beer was pretty gross, but we got a good laugh out of it! However, the buffet was great, with tons of bread, pasta, and a wide variety of vegetables cooked many different ways. I only spent 5 euro for a delicious dinner, so I think aperitivos will become a Friday ritual for me!
