I woke up kind of early Saturday morning. I needed to go to piazza Navona to reshoot my photos from my photography field study. I rode the 44 to Piazza Venezia figuring I could walk from there. I decided while I was there to go into the Altare della Patria, or the "Wedding Cake" as it's nicknamed. I didn't really know what was inside but learned that it is where the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is. There is also the Risorgimento museum and a couple terraces with really good views. After that I went to go do my photos only to discover my camera had died. Frustrated, I went home to drop off the dead weight and immediately turned around so that I could go meet Maria back at Piazza Venezia.
We walked up via del Corso and met Jake at Piazza del Popolo. From there we all went together to Villa Borghese and towards the zoo. We never actually went to the zoo (I will have to go back though because it is something I really want to do). Instead, we rented a row boat on the small lake and attempted to paddle around. Most of our twenty minutes involved avoided the raining bird poop and getting our oars untangled from the sea/lakeweed. After the lake we walked around and got some cotton candy. That night I went and met up with Tyler again in Trastevere. He wanted to revisit his old stopping grounds from when he studied in Rome a few years ago. 
Sunday got off to a slow start because I basically slept until noon. I actually got up at 8:30 and started my laundry but then accidentally went back to sleep for awhile. When I got up I went back to Piazza Navona to try again to take my photos, this time with more success! I came home and did some homework. Kim and Caroline got back from their trip to Venice. For dinned, Sarah, Kim, and I went to Abby Theater and got some burgers and then came home kind of early.
