Day 6-Day on my own #1

Tim had work today, so before I officially woke up, I went over in my mind the things I could do. Very limited, but okay none the less. I awoke maybe a half hour after Tim had left and I wanted to get a nice swig of cool water to cleanse my palate. My choices were very limited in the fridge, so either sparkling or mineral water. I opted for the mineral water, but I questioned it considering it was a little bit darker than normal water and the bottle was different. It did, however, say mineral water on it, so I went for it. OMG, wow! Is this alcohol?? WTF?! I was definitely not ready for that. The alcohol was burning my entire mouth and was the grossest alcohol I have ever tasted. I ran to the bathroom and spit it out and ran my mouth underneath some running water. Why would Tim have this in the fridge? So I wrote him an email telling him how eventful my morning already was. He quickly wrote back that it was a gift of Romanian alcohol from a co-worker that he is holding on to just in case the guy ever says, "Hey, we should have some of that alcohol." I would have just given it back and said, "Sorry buddy...not interested!" Wow, I'm definitely not over it haha

Anyway, after that, I decided to ease into my day a little bit better and watch a movie. I watched the first half of "Doubt" before thinking, "I really need to get out of this bed." Hopped in the shower, got my bathing suit on and headed to the pool. Before leaving the hotel room, I also decided to look up some Italian sentences. Last time, which I omitted from this blog earlier, was not the best. Tim and I went to the pool to check out what it looked like and the guy in charge started speaking to me in really fast Italian and I freaked out, since I didn't know what to do. I basically yelled, "Hold on! I'm AMERICAN!" Tim laughed, as did I, but I was super embarrassed. I looked up the phrase, "Sorry, I do not speak Italian." Actually, the guy was really nice when I finally got there and every time I thanked him in Italian, he looked at me like I had 10 heads.

The pool is about 4' deep all around and about 20' in length. It was a nice fit for the amount of people that stay at this hotel. I kept to myself while trying to achieve a nice and even tan. I couldn't believe how hot it got so quickly. I laid down for not even 2 minutes and I was sweating bullets. It was HOT! I laid out for about 2 hours and took a dip in the pool after each hour. If you can believe it, even the chlorine smells a little different. It was very refreshing though.

I came back to the room and finished "Doubt" and watched "Funny People" until Tim arrived home. What a relief that he came home early, because I was starting to get bored. We ordered room service, where I, once again, ordered the Angus filet. I love it waaay too much. And we finished watching the third season of Californication and I'm sad that I have to wait until the next season starts. All in all, it was another relaxing day and I look forward to having another one tomorrow.

I am also looking forward to traveling by myself in Rome either Wednesday or Thursday. I really hope I can make this just a day trip. *fingers crossed*
