Today was a great day. We all went on a tour this morning of the Palazzo Massimo, another branch of the National Museums of Rome. I've thrown in a few pictures of my favorites from this museum. I did not particularly like the layout of this museum compared to the other ones we have visited, but the art was beautiful. There were a ton of mosaics and frescos which must have been stunning when they were first completed.
After the museum a bunch of us picked up pizzas and headed home, and by the time we got home we were so exausted from the heat that almost all of us took naps.
After our luxurious nap Danya and I spent the afternoon/early evening playing music and then we got ready for our friend Charlie's birthday party. I suppose turning 21 in Italy is not quite as exciting as it is in the U.S. but we decided to throw Charlie a party anyway. 16 of us went out to dinner at this wonderful little family restaurant in Trastevere, and that is what the photo is of. The food was delicious and the owner was very appreciative of our business. It was a great end to a lovely day. We came home and played music for a little while longer. Danya and I have been trying to perfect one of the songs from the F&W string band book. Its a lot of fun and everyone seemed to appreciate hearing it. Well, I think this weekend is going to be very busy work wise so I think I am going to head to bed.
