We hadn't sat down to tape a vlog for a while and we figured "Hey! Why not? We bet they miss our faces as much as we miss talking to a computer!" ...It also helped that we had some interesting things to talk about.
This weekend, on Lectures and Tours, we saw two Villas: Villa Giulia (you have no idea how hard it is to type that in Italian, when you usually spell it the English way) and Villa Borghese. As we talk about it, we also venture into a random side conversation or two.
After our vlog with a purpose, we had nothing else to do (except play Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water's Edge), so we decided to share our randomness with you while wearing our sunglasses... yup. I can't see anything through the entire thing; it's rather amusing.
Sunday seemed to be music night in Rome. We encountered several musicians and every single one was amazing; they were not the normal street artists. We decided to tape two of them and share them with you! The cellist is sitting in the porch of the Pantheon. A huge group was sitting and watching him. I'm not going to lie to you all, I cried while listening to him. Later that night, we were sitting at a restaurant and heard a woman singing opera. Again, we taped her for your viewing pleasure. She teaches music at a local university. Her husband was also playing the guitar and singing. We had the pleasure of meeting her daughter...
After we watched her parents perform, they came by our restaurant to use the restroom. They proceeded to leave their daughter outside and she meandered over to our table, immediately becoming enchanted with Nia and Claire.

| The little girl with Nia's camera! |
She took pictures with Nia's camera, but for some reason, she really disliked Danahy. As they went to leave, the little girl threw a fit, grabbed onto Claire's chair, and refused to let go. Her father managed to wrangle her off the chair. She forgot her water bottle and purse, however. Suddenly, she threw herself at Danahy; we all thought that she decided to give Danahy a hug, but a look of pain quickly crossed Danahy's face. The little girl BIT her. No, you read that correctly; Danahy was bitten by an Italian child.

| Why hello bite mark! I didn't see you there. |
After we realized that no blood was spilled, Nia, Claire, and I laughed hysterically. It's possibly the funniest thing we've seen here.
I'm pretty sure that's all that has happened. So, I guess I'll share our vlog links now...
