always look on the bright side

friday was also Kali's birthday. we had an amazing cocoa and coffee torte for dessert at dinner. sadly, Kali is allergic to both of those! Pina, since she is so amazing, made a special small dessert for Kali at least.

of course since it was friday, we had to go out and celebrate. we hit one of our traditional Trastevere haunts, Bro's. Bro's is really a restaurant, but they're not ashamed to sell us just drinks. we went and bought a couple rounds for Kali and the rest of the gang (about 12 strong, i think myself, Alyssa, Mark, Kerry, Chris, Alicen, Andrew, Eli, Katherine, and...aw i forget). we went out pretty early because Kali didn't want to stay out too late. we got back to the Centro at about 12 and were still pretty awake. we popped in Life of Brian and kicked back. Eli, Alicen, Alyssa, Andrew, and I stayed up to watch. the movie finished around 2 and we all went to collapse into bed. as it should be.
