Meat Please
Hello. So eating right is extremely difficult in this city. I don’t understand how people do it. All I have eaten here is pizza, pasta, sandwiches with cheese, and bread. Therefore all I have eaten is carbs. I woke yesterday with a bad sore throat and as I went through my day I realized I need to find some protein and vegetables for my body. Believe it or not is is really hard to come by here. I don’t like fish which is the other part of the Italian diet. Today I am going on a hunt for some protein. I wish I had brought peanut butter because it has such great protein! This weekend I am going to buy walking shoes. I came here with just slippers. I feel like I am in great shape. I walk between 6 and 9 miles a day. My apartment is 2 miles away so just from there and back is 4 a day. During my breaks during the day I sometimes plan to just get lost. I just wander around and discover cute little shops and roam the streets. I really do get lost but it makes it easier to get my bearings and then I have to get back eventually so it all works out. I need to figure out to get to the Spanish steps today because that is where the book store that sells all of the books I need for school is located that is after I find some turkey or real food!

Malia--Thank you for your blog. A great way to start the morning and to see Rome through your eyes and experiences. You will love the Spanish Steps with its great shops and restuarants...Ninos for great pasta and yes vegetables are a struggle. Enjoy the rest of your day and evening. The McDonald Family
ReplyDeleteHi Malia! On a hunt for protein?! How about avacadoes? How about any nuts? Oh how I wish I could get lost with you today in Rome!(by the time I get there you may know your bearings so well you won't get lost!) How are your classes? Also, I am wondering if you are holding on to your purse tightly; any incidents of thefts? thanks for greeting me this morning! Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteMalia i hate to be such a Dad but as you are getting lost make sure you are always with friends never by yourself. Speaking of meat we had agreat steak last night at Ruth Chris... You are in the food capital of the world only if you are a pasta and fish lover.. Enjoy & be safe..
ReplyDeleteMimi--Everything sounds so exciting!!! I am going to live through you this year. Do they sell peanut butter? Get some good Gramdma walking shoes!!! Love you Gma
ReplyDeleteHi Malia, I feel for you with the food situation. I think Kristen and I (picky eaters) would starve if we were there.
