Found a great trail to run along the Tiber except when a pack of dogs came charging at me. Luckily Bill was walking and ran to rescue me. Further down the trail were more fishermen that I could count. I have to say that waters of the Tiber look almost stagnant. After the run we had breakfast with not a single English speaking person. A 90 year old was sitting next to me when I accidently shot a piece of breakfast across the floor. She looked at me and smiled and winked which sorta calmed the nerves. Also went to the Sat market and purchased food for dinner. I am cooking fresh tomato sauce tonight. After the market we hiked up to a Monastery. Once again straight up a mountain. Well we decide to snoop around and a monk comes out and escorts us out of the restricted area. After the Monastery experience something needed to be cleansed so instead of our souls we went to the “WaterLand” to do laundry. It was like a scene out of “I Love Lucy”. We had no idea what to do until the attendant came out and intervened. If that wasn’t bad enough we walked down the street and somehow convinced a restaurant owner (non-English speaking, of course) to serve us lunch when the restaurant was closed. They thought we were German so they brought us beer and sausage sandwiches. What a day! It makes me tired just writing about it.
