here is aug 31....

Friday August 31.

Well my second day in Italy was great. I got up late at like 12. And sarah and risa and I all met up with Rachael and went to get sarahs luggage across town.

While walking we really got hungry and stopped at this little hip food place on the way. I cant remember the name but it was really healthy moderately priced food. It was ok but not a fill-ya-up meal. So we walked over and got her luggage then took a cab back to our apt.

Risa and Rachel did their thing while I went to buy a fan and walked sarah halfway to the western union. I finally got the fan and brought it home and set it up.

After sarah got back her and I headed over to go grocery shopping and risa met up with us. It was surprisingly cheap considering everyone says that everything is more expensive over here. I think I’m going to be good with money as long as we just cook a lot….

Then, after we went shopping I sat around by myself for a while, walked over to the gelatoria and looked at the people around me while the sun set.

When sarah and risa got back, Brenda and them dragged me out to this place called pizzeria which is just past the Duomo and split a yummy calzone (ham and cheese) with Brenda and had wine. We met up with kellit, Lauren, and racheal to eat there and Lauren has lived in Florence for a year before this so knew the waiter which was pretty funny. He was really nice and his friends bought us lemon chello. MMM….

After that we met up with our friend Brian and went out to the Astor Bar which is an Italian bar and club downstairs. We had a drink and decided to go to a more busy club around the corner called Touche, which we call Twice. (spelled like touché but not said like touché). It was REALLY packed and sweaty and full of Americans, but it was free so we went in.

We saw tori and Cori there and danced for a while. Brenda and I aren’t exactly night owls so we decided that we were ready to head home. But the problem was that we were around the Ponte Vecchio and that’s like 20 min walking from our apt. we decided to tough it out and walk, BUT we got lost for an HOUR at 2:30. DON’T WORRY, we stayed on well lit streets. We actually were just going in circles for a half an hour and finally found our way back.

It was really funny because like 5 min later everyone else came home.

Oops.

So we went to bed and that was that.
