villa d'este, rain & karaoke

i spent the afternoon at villa d'este. luckily it was nice and sunny when i was there cuz on the way back to nonna's it started to thunderstorm again! this needs to stop! pronto. 

i'll let it slide since the forecast did call for showers yesterday and that would have been a complete disaster for my hair!..and for the whole wedding i guess... but mainly my hair.

well here are some pics from my day at villa d'este. 

this is the organ fountain... it plays music every so often... 

and that's about all i can tell you... 

yeah okay so i don't really know the history of this place. i just know it used to be some pope's summer home. probably from medieval times or the renaissance or something. the home itself is nice, but the garden is friggin massive. 

wedding photography was done here and i dunno how my sister walked around in her heels. the whole place is cobblestone, mosaic tiles , dirt, rocky ground with stairs and hills. i went to meet her after the church, took one look and went oh hell no i'm not walking this! 

really pretty though and lots to see. so i'll just show you the pictures, but if you really wanna know more there's this great tool called google.

here i am at the hundred fountains. i know that much! the one on the right i believe is the oval fountain.

the courtyard and this other i don't know the name, but it made for a nice photo.

so that was basically my afternoon...

oh yeah and i also ate some moldy pizza... not kidding. the bread was growing mold. the stupid lady thought i was an idiot or something and tried to tell me that this has never happened before and it wasn't mold. it was because they didn't use a normal wood burning oven. and i was like uhh... no. it's mold! i'm not stupid. the bread is green! you suck!

super mad about that. i don't normally like to be rude and complain, but seriously! you're gonna stand there and tell me you didn't just serve me friggin old and rotting pizza?? they made me another one and practically threw it at me without saying anything to get out me of there. i didn't end up eating it since i was already disgusted. of all my years going to tivoli i've never eaten at that place nor will i ever again!

anywhos...

apparently i'm going to a discoteca tonight. aka a karaoke bar. never been to one in tivoli. the whole overseas wedding gang is going. should be interesting!
