It was so hard to get up this morning... We hurried to S. Pietro's Basilica, and my eye was twitching with tiredness. Our pitch was "crawling dot" a practice in negative capability in scale.
Lauren and I roamed the church together. It was packed with tourists and it was just uninspiring this time. It was difficult to try to even approach the Pieta, and that's about all that I wanted to really see. Still we circled, choir in the background as Mass ensued. We dropped down to the catacombs, and then called it good at about noon.
On the way to the church Mindy had been acosted by a scooter guy. He didn't get anything but she kicked at him as she fell to the ground skinning and bloodying both knees. We all walked back to the Campo together. I spent the afternoon in my room working and trying to catch up.
Laurie and I seemed to be clicking again (I feel like to some extent I had been causing a distance in my wandering and such) and made plans for dinner together. We finally ventured to Lilo's restaurant "Lucifero's" (at S. Margherita and the via parallel to Pellegrino) at 23.00 or so. Finished after midnight, to join the rest of the crowd at the Campo. Most had 40's in hand, and we headed again to the Tibre.
I walked with Lisa back, sharing stories and woes. To bed at 4am, always shy of a full nights sleep.
