Went to JFRC's “Mass of the Holy
Spirit.” It was a kind of ending to the orientation week for all
the students at J-force. The Church was beautiful. Definitely worth
seeing if you're ever in Rome. Above the actual church is a number of
rooms where some very famous Jesuits lived (really cool if you know
your Jesuit history!):

| Room of the first astrophysicist. |

| Special Jesuit wallpaper... You can see the IHS if you look closely. |
After mass I attended the best diner I
have had in all of Italy hands down. The place we went was called
Osteria dell Anima (by Piazza Navona). If you ever find yourself in
Rome do your taste buds a favor and try their tortellini stuffed with
pear and ricotta in a rich, creamy pear sauce. It was beyond words.
The company was great too. I sat with some old friends, made some new
ones, had some hilarious run ins with the waiters (which resulted in
some extra wine ;), and stayed for about 3.5 hours until I my group
was the last of jfource to leave.
