day thirty-one; july 24th
Had a much better sleep last night, only woke up twice for a coughing fit. Still woke up pretty exhausted though and my ribs and throat are extremely sore from coughing so much so as per the doctor’s orders, I spent most of the day at home either reading or watching TV. Had a sleep in the afternoon and then got ready to meet Emilie and some of her friends from her class for dinner. We went to Trattoria Nella which I went to with Em and Cheryl last Thursday. It’s a lovely little restaurant, family owned and has some really different dishes, not just the traditional Italian meals. Em and I then went to Carabe which is a very famous gelato shop down the road from the Duomo. It’s not like your nomad gelato, it’s almost sorbet like - very icy but very refreshing. I then made the long trek home and went to bed feeling a lot better. Sorry, not a very interesting day!
