Blog Day 15 - Nightlife in Genova?

So we got our quizzes back today... no one was very happy about the grades (again) but I did ok. I'm not too worried about my grade but an A would be nice. But I'm still doing some extra credit... I figure it can't hurt! :-)

After school, I got to take a nap! It was exciting (I know I'm lame) lol I caught up on journal entries and wrote my extra credit work. I meant to do some some homework but that nap was just too important :-P

After awhile, Kel, Ash and I got some dinner at the Mureno Suite again which was nice. I had gnocchi al pesto which was good! The girls both got Minestrone alla Genovese, which has pesto in it and makes it even more amazing than normal minestrone soup. I love the food here and I can't wait to try my hand at it when I'm back at the apartment! :-) (yea, weird.. Amy wants to cook lol)

After dinner, we all got ready and 12 of us decided to attempt to find the nightlife in Genoa. Since Italians have classes (and hard school work!) 6 days a week, they don't seem to go out as much as people do in College Park. People have tried numerous times to find a good club or bar here but to no avail.

So we went out and started walking around. We went to this one bar that some of the girls had found and it was interesting. Everyone was a little bit older.. and kinda creepy. But I had a corona and it was good. I hadn't really drank beer this whole trip so it was a nice change. We hung out and people watched and chatted.

Then we moved on and decided to just follow the crowds and see where they went. We walked past this one place but people spilling out on the streets were packed so thick, you couldn't even SEE a bar behind them! We walked some more and found this little back alley area where EVERYONE was! YAY we found some nightlife in Genova! Most people even seemed to be around our age. There was a bar and then tables outside and everyone spilled out on the sidewalk/street. There was a gelato place and a greasy hamburger place in the same area. Behrad said it was the Ratsies of Italy :-P I got gelato and it was gooooooood ;-D for someone who doesn't usually eat dessert, I love that gelato! We hung out for a few minutes but we were all exhausted and had to catch a train in the morning so we headed home and went to bed. Milan in the morning! :-)

Arrivederci (good bye)

And "Ti voglio bene" to my friends and family (I love you... in a non-passionate way :-P)
