Lunedi

Oggi é Lunedi. Monday. Today was a good day but not super exciting. Got up this morning and went to school where we were supposed to have a test which I had crammed for on the train last night. But when we walked in to class today Ruggero said that since we had all been gone this weekend he wanted to move the test to tomorrow and just review for today. 10 points for Ruggero!!! That was rather exciting. After class we went to the grocery store and got some food to eat for the next two days before we go to Venezia and then we just chilled at the apartment, reading awesome books for the rest of the afternoon. For dinner though, the boys apartment invited us over because they wanted to make dinner. So went over, taking a bottle of wine and some bread with us. One of them made flank steak with a pesto tomato pasta. It was soo good! I was actually rather surprised. I did not believe they could cook, but the proved me wrong. Later we were all just chilling, sitting around in their living room while they passed a guitar around and one of them decided it would be a great idea to make all of us take shots of absinthe. Most disgusting thing I have ever tasted in my entire life. Worse than Robitussin or Nyquil cough medicines. I chased it with coke (I hate coke) and I thought it tasted fantastic compared to the absinthe. Then we all went out to a bar and the boys convinced me to take a shot of strawberry vodka. That was a little better but still gross. Surprisingly it didn't make me that drunk at all which is good, but all of the boys and the older girls promised to take care of me if anything happened anyways. Then we all walked to the Trevi fountain which was beautiful and empty at night. We just fooled around taking pictures and goofing off before coming home to go to bed. That's all for now folks! :)

  1. Sounds like a fun night. I remember in Piazza Navona when the waiter gave me the little absinthe after our meal. I thought I was going to hurl all over the pasta. You must have inherited my tastebuds. I think you are braver than me though little one. I'm so glad you've got good friends to look out for you and encourage you to LIVE the adventure!
