With Cream On Top ;)

After getting less than 2 hours of sleep, today started out as a pretty hectic day. By 7:45am, I was out the door and on the way to my on-site drawing class. We met at Isola Tiberina, which is right between the Jewish Ghetto and Trastevere. Since I had been there earlier this week, the trip was quite easy.

We worked with ink wash today. I did surprisingly well. Check out the pics of my art. :)

After the first class, I ran around like a crazy person. Then, I decided to post-pone my meeting with Blanche til Friday morning. Once this was decided, I ran to school for my Italian exam. Keep your fingers crossed, but I think I did well. :)

My "favorite" class was next. We went to the Spezio Sette Design Store. It was pretty cool. We got to speak with the main man, and saw a lot of neat things. I took some pics of the jewelry for mom. If I was rich, I'd buy mama dukes a everything in there for the kitchen and home. Then, I'd hire a private chef and maid to take care of it. haha

A nice stroll home was just what I needed before dinner. I made baked ziti tonight with marinaded artichoke. Brittney and Danesha brought the wine and mozarella caprese. I also made this garlic/olive oil dip for the breadsticks... yummm!

Of coarse, we ended our night with gelato from Old Bridge... near the Vatican. We love the boys there, and one of them was even in Philly before. They are adorable! Plus, they give us HUGE portions of gelato... with cream on top, just the way we like it. haha

Looking forward to seeing Blanche again tomorrow!
