This weekend I finally had some visitors from home. My mum, my aunt and my little sister Anna-Lisa landed in Rome on Thursday to spend some days in the eternal city.
We had rented an appartment in the centre, in a super cute little street right around the corner of Via del Corso. When they arrived, we had to tune the heater because the whole flat was awefully cold. They have only one heater in the whole thing!! We brought my family some pizza from the best pizzeria in town in Via Nizza...they loved it. I also confessed to my mum that I got the tattoo because she hadn't known about it before...here her face when she saw it....but her reaction was very positive!!!

Then they went to sleep because they were a bit tired...I slept at my place and at 8 o'clock in the morning I got an sms from my mum saying that my aunt was suffering from diarrhea and was vomiting...so we went to the pharmacy and got some medcine...poor girl had to spend the whole day in bed....
In the meanwhile, my mum, my sister and me went to do some sightseeing...the weather sucked pretty much....but we managed NOT to buy an umbrella from one of those hundreds of umbrella-selling guys in the streets....we went to the usual sights in the centro storico: Pantheon, Piazza Venezia, Fori Imperiali, Colosseo....and my little sister was totally in love with this huge building....then it started to rain heavier, so we decided to go back to the apartment and spent the afternoon reading a book about Rome with my aunt sleeping on the couch.
Saturday, my aunt was back in the game and we did the whole tour from the otherside again...and we also went to the famous Mondo Arancino, that I have already mentioned before, to get some lunch...my sister liked it pretty much...
After that, we went to Castel Sant'Angelo, my sister started to cry because we didnt want to get inside since the entry fee was about 11€ which I personally considered a bit much...
Then we went to the Basilica San Pietro which was very impressive and we were surprised that you can actually get in for free..which doesnt happen too often in Rome...My little sister is going to have her First Communion soon and therefore, she has a little paper in which she has to get a stamp from each mass or church she visits....we tried to get something like this in many churches in Rome but we never found someone to ask. So in San Pietro, I asked one of the securities and they brought us into the vestry of the dome to get it!! Now my little sister has a stamp of the Vatican inside her little church booklet....
After this exciting day, we had some wine and cheese in the little apartment...

I bought some nice sunglasses and some black-red striped stockings...and my family went home with a lot of stuff...
I also got an amazing Christmas present from my aunt that she bought there: This is a bronze skeleton in the famous thinker position...this guy just thought too much!!! I love it!! My first real piece of art...
After that we went for a traditional pranzo in a restaurant called Sale & Pepe which I can only recommend...good sea food.I bought some nice sunglasses and some black-red striped stockings...and my family went home with a lot of stuff...

Ensuite, we went to do another walk in the Roman city centre. We saw Campo dei Fiori and from there we walked to Piazza Navona and then back to Via del Corso to take the bus to my place at Piazza San Silvestro...we rode to my place for a coffee, so that they could see under which circumstances I am living here...When they left, I went to bed since I didnt feel well...my aunt had transmitted her virus to me...I took some medcine to prevent the worst...I also had a cold and was constantly wiping my nose!
At 4.30 o'clock in the morning, we got up to bring my family to the airport..they had their flight at 6:30!! Saying goodbye was pretty tough since I had a good time with them and I sometimes feel a bit lonely in Rome since my so-called friends turned out to be no friends at all...
The rest of the day I spent in bed, watching a movie called My own private Idaho with late River Phoenix who is amazing in this movie....
The next week, I'll put into the next blog...so much for now...and remember, when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro!!
