Pasta Disaster

Today was quite uneventful, as most of the time I just played tetris/attempted to write my paper.

I woke up at 8:30, and cleaned myself up until Daniel woke up. We went to currency exchange, and I sleepily withdrew some euros from the bancomat.

Walking around, we actually found the fish-stall grocery store that Lisa mentioned on the tour yesterday! They had far more selection than Desparo. I bought some cookies called Barilla Abbraci. I promptly finished them before dinner. Heading back to the campo, we hastily bought a (lot) of fruit, pasta spices (literally "Pasta Spice" because I couldn't read most of the herbs in the spice cart), and some fresh herbs.

We made a simple pasta sauce with the stuff we got. Daniel burned the pasta (shh), partially because we couldn't get the water to boil. Oh well, it wasn't bad. The parmesan was incredible, and sort of made up for the dish.

We went to dinner at 7:30 PM. The 3 course meal was delicious (the seafood salad with scallops was especially good; I wish I had brought my camera).

Afterwards, we headed back to our apartment to drink a little bit. I didn't, which I regret.

We went walking through the Travestere bars, and we stopped by one. Most of the girls bought fruity mimosas, while I got a terrible beer.

Kristin takes pictures, Mauna drank a lot but wasn't drunk, Carmen didn't like her Margarita. There was about 10000 people out and about.

I walked Molly, Rebecca, and Katie home, and I surprisingly really enjoyed that part. I realize that I can actually find my way around this place. Very cool.

I'm exhausted, but going out with everyone was a good idea. Thanks math major girl from Pullman that is top secret! <3

Flee market bright and early tomorrow morning, and hopefully the completion of my draft *before* the Italian soccer game.
