Blog Day 2

First real day in Genoa...

Today, we woke up around 8:30 and went to breakfast in the hotel. European breakfast with lots of bread and thats it. We met at 11 and walked to the cable car that just goes up and down the mountain. We went allllll the way to the top to see the view... but it was FOGGY!!! So lame... I want to try to go back up there to get some good pics of the view.

Then we went to lunch at De Maria which was super cheap and delicioso! I had pasta pesto! And then for dessert, I had fruita cotta (cooked fruit) which was really yummy. There was funny grafitti outside that had rock and roll bands listed.

The prof walked us home and we had some free time. A bunch of us went shopping and to the market. Italy doesn't have sales all the time... they only have 2 sales a year: now and in July. But everything is still so expensive! And I didn't come here to go clothes shopping for myself. I can do that at home.

Then we went out to dinner at a pizzeria and got a whole pizza to myself! (It is made to be like that) Mine had bacon and tomatoes on it. Then we came back here and hung out. I hung out with some of the people from our group and we discussed possible places to travel. I think this coming weekend we are going to go to the Toscana area... Florence and a wine tour in the country and then Pisa on the way back!!! So exciting!!! The lady who works the front desk the most, Josephina, is researching for us. And the other weekend we can travel, we might go to Venice and then Milan on Sunday. Our only boy on the trip, Behard (or just B as we call him) turns 21 on that Sunday and he wants to spend his birthday in Milan. I think that would be a blast.

Sorry my writing sucks in this blog but I have too much to do! Duh I am in ITALY!!!
