Thursday was a very interesting day... I got to hang out with my friend and just do what she does. Right before, however, we went by the beach, there in her town Viareggio, to eat. I had the 'insalata di mare' (sea salad, but it was just seafood) which had shrimp and other mollusks. It was the freshest seafood I'd ever had.. right out of the mediterranean sea... mmmmm.
We then went to Claudia's hometown.. where she grew up & lived a lot of her adult life... La Spezia. OH MY GOSH... is all I had to say. Well, also, 'why did you ever move from here?!' It is the most amazing city ever. No tourists there, but they are missing out. I could go on but I'll give you pictures instead.
First she took me to see the World Cup Italian soccer match with her dad & some of his friends.. LOL ... so fun & passionate =). I then accompanied her to a graduate class that she goes to. I got to chat with the professor, very interesting guy, and learned a little something about communications & personalities. There were few students so he kept using Mexico, Texas
, U.S. & me for examples.
jijiji He's actually the one that informed me that Obama had just fired McChristal (ugh!!).
We then went to my friend's hometown: La Spezia
Tango class!! (perfect!) Two of my favorite things to do meshed together... Italian & Tango! That was very fun.
Also, while in La Spezia, we went to great eatery where we had a traditional bread, which I forgot the name of (will give later) but it's like a flat bagel, with cheese and cold meats which include prosciutto, Delicious! (Afterward, we also had it with Nutella)
Overall - awesome day.

Ugh..sorry I did not mention to you the McChristal thing. I was so mad he got fired. Obama is an idiot.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that Gral. McChristal, eats one meal a day, runs 6 miles a day, and sleeps only 4 hours at night? Isn't that crazy? He is such a great character!
ok... of those things I only admire the 6 miles a day.. the rest not healthy... lol
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I actually had a political discussion (conversation, really) with and Italian professor, IN ITALIAN, in an Italian University... wow. yay me =]
ReplyDeleteGood for you Babe! I'm so proud of you!
ReplyDeleteLOL you guys are so funny!
ReplyDeleteHey D! Italian food and tango...what a lovely combination. It is great to hear that you have enjoyed all the different kinds of food you have tried...yeahhooooeeee!! It makes you want to be the next Giada DeLaurentis (hope I spelled that correctly). Pick up some recipes for Ruben and me (we'd love to try cooking 'em)...perhaps one for fried olives. Ruben's rubbing off on me (all I watch is the cooking channels now). Enjoy the food and sites!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen! Awesome Moniquee... yes, actually I think I'll be soon going to a town where there main business is olives (!!!) Love you girls. =)
