The Awesomeness of Here

So a few really great things have been a foot.

The end of last week was pretty great.
I went out to get myself some lunch on Thursday afternoon before class and went to a place that was recommended by the school. It's near the central market, it's supposedly cheap and always crowded.
It's the kind of place that everyone goes to, locals and tourist, young and old. And yes it is always crowded. They are only open for lunch I believe.
They sit you down where ever there is room, even at a table that has three out of 4 chairs filled by a different party.
I sat down and met these two guys from the east coast, New York/Jersey area, and started to talk to them. Good guys, and one asks to buy me lunch. At first I told him that he didn't have to but he insisted so I ordered their ravioli that they are famous for, and they poured me a glass of wine. Now I was fine with that, oh no they said here have some of our bisttecha florintina, oh and we're ordering a cheese plate, have some more wine. It was a great afternoon, besides all the AMAZINGLY GREAT food, they were good guys and great conversation.

There was a European fest in town this weekend and so Stacey and I bought 3 large pretzels and 2 beers. They were super yummy, one had chocolate on the outside, and apricot on the inside.

The next morning I got up early to grab breakfast and catch the field trip to a winery.
I went to my usual caffe and Enrico, Andrea's friend and I talk and he buys my breakfast, he did it again today! Super nice of him. Then I went to the winery, which was amazing! The land was great and beautiful. We got to watch as they were picking the last of the grapes. Sadly because it is the end of the harvest they have started the fermentation and need to watch the grapes almost every minuet so we didn't get to see the cellar.

Saturday I got my hair cut, thank god, it needed to be done so badly. my hair is now soft and fun!


That was my weekend, hope you all had a great weekend too!

Buona giornata, and happy monday!
