So, since today was a national holiday, we spent it being kind of lazy. I didn't see anything too festive, unfortunately. However, there was a soccer game in the evening that was very fun. The game was a tie (0 to 0), so emotions didn't run too wild. Also, a sketchy man handed me this card as everyone around me cheered and laughed:
Translation: "I don't have your number. You call me?"
Several issues with this:
1. This card was very worn, and had clearly been recycled several times.
2. This man is old enough to be my father.
3. The man was also wearing a Confederate flag on his head like a bandana.
4. What kind of man knows that he is going to distribute so many numbers, that he has a need to produce cheesy business cards?
Although, I have to admit, it was pretty funny. The man then came down to where we were sitting and handed me a map with an address to a sketchy nightclub (/possible strip club?) he owns and offered me and my "ragazze" friends 50% off of the cover charge...I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that I probably won't be making an appearance.
So, in other news, I stuffed my face again today with pounds of food. Thank goodness for the thirty minute walk to class everyday! The dish of the day today was from one of the local gelateries. It was a homemade ice cream bar--"niocciole," or hazlenut. Here is a picture of it nearly consumed:
YUM!
First day of classes tomorrow. Buonanotte!
