Day 8: Early christian churches, crit & bad waitress

Today went by pretty fast. In the morning the gang headed to some early Christian Churches: 

_Santa Maria Maggiore

Though a gorgeous church, they just put those janitorial stuff right by Bernini's Tomb! That's so bad. Chris (our professor) loves Bernini. I wonder he noticed that or not.

_Santa Pressede (unfortunately closed today)
_San Pudenziana

Those two churches anamed after a pair of sibling share similar stories, where both of used their home to hide Christians from the genocide taking place in Rome. Unfortunately, both of them were unsuccessful.

After the critique for our poster project many of us went to dinner in Governo Viechi (The Govener's Street), which has overtime become a hip and young street right next to Plaza Navona. There are some great restaurant there, but we stumped upon an just-okey-ish one called Mimi e Coco, where the server is just unprofessional and un-Roman-ish. She gave us all these bread but did NOT give us any place for oil and vinegar. As designers we decided to use the ashtray as the plate.....sounds gross but we were unabashedly creative! The thing is that the waitress seemed gross out too and still did NOT give us any plates. Well, if you see that maybe you SHOULD  give us some freaking plates you twit! Though the food got good reviews from my friends, it didn't really catch my heart.

But I had some good gelato (Pineapple flavor) afterwards. That's the savor of the day.

Did I mention the waitress kinda stinks too?
