Thanksgiving Weekend or Bust!

BUST!

So, the Weekend started great on Thursday, I had a great day of planning and relaxing in preparations for what was supposed to be a fun-filled weekend of trips to Viterbo, Bracciano, and Sezze around Rome. Then I woke up Friday...

I hadn't slept well, and I woke with a fever and could barely hold down any food for breakfast. I ended up in bed for most of Friday instead of going to Viterbo and Bracciano, two medieval towns north of Rome.

On Saturday afternoon, I had been planning to accept an invitation to join our friend and Rome guide Ruth for a stay at her house in Sezze, a small ancient town about 45 minutes south of Rome by train. On Sunday, Ruth was making a Thanksgiving-ish dinner for some British friends of hers and we were invited as well.

Although I was feeling slightly better than Friday, I still was nowhere near ready to make the Sezze trip on Saturday. But there was still some hope! Although Annie had accepted the Saturday invitation, Jordan had agreed to take the train down early on Sunday afternoon after he attended church. I could still hitch a ride then.

Of course, that didn't happen, so I didn't get to see the little town of Sezze nestled in the hills with views of the Sea. I was still not well enough to make any sort of long distance journey, I had trouble running down to the grocery store for some fruit and juice to eat!

 Thankfully, Annie was able to bring me some quail and squash and a slice of pumpkin pie. I will be eating that for lunch today, as once again, I am stuck at home!

Anyways, hopefully the week will turn around! Quickly!

Ciao for now,
