10/28
The entreprenuerial side of our apartment came out last week. We had a big dinner with all the guys at our apartment and some of Cyle’s family. Sitting around dinner, with a glass of wine, we decided to have a huge dinner once a week.
So today we had our first big dinner. There were 8 of us guys and 8 girls. Keith cooked a huge dinner that was incredible. The first course was the standard fresh sliced bread with olive oil. The second course was a pomodoro dish that we first tried in Florence. The main course was a pesto and chicken gnocchi that was awesome. The final course was a chocolate dipped strawberry and banana desert with small scoops of banana and strawberry gelato. Of course he used only the finest gelato, Giolitti’s (A very famous gelato place that is just outside of our apartment).
The meal was great. We ate for a few hours and drank several glasses of wine each. The dinner led to a little over excitement that inspired us all to go out the night before a very early flight to Barcelona.

The last two weeks in Rome have been awesome. School is definetly a bit harder than I had anticipated. I have had to spend more time studying and less time going out. I think a large part of the challenge is the language barrier and cultural differences. I enjoy the challenge.
Last night six of my room mates and I had a huge dinner. Greg made homemade cannolis, prosciutto and melon, bread with seasoned olive oil and cheese, and delicious meat cooked into a homemade pasta sauce, with penne. It was a very typical Italian style meal. We drank a few glasses of wine and ate for about three hours, with some light acoustic music. We decided we will do this once a week. I have some pictures to put up here from the meal.
