After walking around Piazza dell Popolo all day with our professor, a group of us were eager to enjoy some wine and take the day off from sketching. We happened to find a great restaurant where we had a few bottles of wine and an amazing lunch! From there we broke off into smaller groups and three of my friends and I decided to buy a few bottles of wine and watch the sunset over Rome from the Pincho hill. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen and it is a memory that I will never forget. The sun set right behind St. Peters church and painted the sky with amazing red and yellow streaks. With no other plans for the rest of the night we were ready for a spontaneous adventure and that is what we got. We happened to find an ice skating rink on the opposite side of the river where we could not resist the opportunity. I must say that it is very difficult to ice skate after a few too many glasses of wine. Being an experienced rollerblader, I have never had much trouble ice-skating, but tonight was a different story. I hit the ice hard a few times and would be feeling the effects in the morning…
