Okay, I am going to have to make this quick, because I am starving...and have a ways to walk for this restaurant.
I got to Rome yesteday and checked into the Hotel Artemide. The hotel is right in the middle of everything, which is nice to going to and from places, and is near a metro station. I chose this hotel becuase the ratings on Trip Advisor were stellar. Though after they showed me my room, I was a bit perplexed. As soon as I walked in my room, I got a whiff of what I can only describe as a weird staleness. Secondly, it was small. Like, you open the door and can place your foot on the bed. But it is the center of Rome, so I will let that slide. The bathroom wasn't much bigger, but again, being Rome, I am letting that slide. I know when I booked for a "Single" room, I got some weekend deal (though it is still costing me around 200€ a night), but they put me right near the maid's closest, so I can hear everytime they open the door and get something. Luckily, not much housekeeping goes on a night. Once of the few saving graces is the free mini bar (yes, it is free), which is restocked daily with bottled water (still and sparkiling), beer, fruit juices and a couple snacks. Which was nice when I needed something to nosh on a couple hours ago. I suppose I just need a place to lay my head my last couple days here. Oh well.
Yesterday, was mostly walking around Rome, and shopping. I got a nice outfit for my friend's wedding rehearsal dinner next Friday. I will be Italian chic. And I can't wait to wear my new Trussardi leather jacket on my next work casual Friday ;)
Today was the Borghese Museum, I am usually not a museum person, but I really enjoyed this one. An outstanding collection. I also walked over by the Spanish Steps. Now, can someone tell me why this is so famous, besides being really big marble stairs? I was took one picture and then hopped back on the metro. Call me underwhelmed.
Okay stomach is growling....
