Only 3 more weeks?! I never want to leave!

Geez, what's up!

I made a delicious Italian quesadilla for lunch. It was really fantastic. That night Pati, Kevin, and I went to the BeBop Cafe and listened to a Pink Floyd cover band. Then we went to Bigallo, met some people there, went to Amadeus, and danced for a really long time. Writing about bar hopping is pretty boring, unless there was something specifically awesome that happened.

Saturday I spent most of my time inside cleaning. I did take a little walk (a little 45 minute walk) to the Ospedale degli Innocenti to see the Della Robbia's. There was a protest going on about animals. I sat there for a while and watched, but I left when the protestors started beating drums. You don't want to be in a protest here - you get beat up. So I figured I probably didn't want to be a bystander near by either.
I went to the leather market and I finally got my new travel journal. 10 € baby.

That night I made a chicken parmesan burger. It was incredibly delicious. If you don't know what to make for dinner tonight, make this. I couldn't handle how good it was. Megan, Renee, and I started watching Philadelphia and it was really really good, but it was too scratched so we couldn't finish it. Instead we watched Domestic Disturbance with John Travolta, which was AWFUL. Such a disappointment after the goodness of Philadelphia.

Yesterday was Gina's birthday! We went to Piazza Michelangelo because she had never been before and just hung out. I made her a chocolate cake with a homemade ganache. We let it cool in the fridge while we went out to apertivi, which I hadn't been to yet. Apertivi is where you buy a drink and then get limitless food. It doesn't have to be an alcoholic drink, just a drink. There was a lot of ethnic food at last night's apertivi, which was very suprising. There just isn't a lot of ethnic food here. It was really delicious. The same place is having a dessert apertivi tomorrow, and we're going to go for that. I think they have cupcakes!

We went home and ate cake and she opened her presents. She cried, she was so happy. It made me feel really happy, because Renee, Gina, and I are such good roommates and I really love them and I wish we all lived in the same place back home, or that we all just actually lived here. We all just hung out and Pati stayed the night.

Tomorrow night is CAPA's apertivi and I'm making oreo balls covered in leftover ganache.
