Coincidence

So, I wake up this morning (okay, it was more like midday), and check my email. I see one of my friends has told me that I needed to do three things here in Rome: go to San Crispinos and visit churches. Since I hadn't planned anything for the day I figured this would be the best thing to do.
So I headed out.
I got the gelato, which was the second best gelato I've ever had (behind GIolitti, which gives more and tastes better). With the gelato in my hand, I made my way over to the nearby Trevi fountain, and dipped my feet in the water while I finished my gelato off. It was a piece of heaven I'd found.
After getting lost for a little bit, I finally found the church, which was all right. Before I went into the second church I decided to go into a small secluded park to get some reading done. But instead I met two immigrants!
One was fromt the Ukraine, and the other was from Siberia. Both were very interesting. Perhaps most interesting of all was that one was a former chess champion of all the Ukraine. She used to be a chess champion, and now she's a domestic worker. Kind of sad.
