Siamo andate alla cena... (We went to dinner...)

My friends and I went to dinner at an American diner last night. Never have I been so happy to taste beef! They don't really eat it here so it was quite a treat! However, they don't cook things very thoroughly here so we all felt quite carnivorous as our hands were covered in the juices from the burgers! It was somewhat gross...but really quite awesome at the same time. The burgers also had CHEDDAR cheese on them which was amazing. They do not have yellow cheeses here which sucks because I love yellow cheese. While we were waiting for our burgers one of my friends saw a sign that said we get a complimentary mimosa with our dinner so she asked and we got those too! Then when the server brought our food he gave us all a 10% student discount. It was a good evening of food.

Later in the night I ended up getting the short end of the stick though when a friend and I went to find this bar. We found the place but nobody was there because there was no live music there last night. Then we decided to walk to another place we were told about but we never found it. We ended up walking along the Arno river for a very long ways. At least we worked off that burger! Anyway, we stopped at one place and I got a beer but it was E7.00!!!! I guess that will teach me to ask to see a drink menu with prices before I order. I think it was so expensive because it was during a certain time period when they also have appetizers so I don't know if I was supposed to buy an expensive beer and then eat the appetizers...not really sure. All in all it was a good night though. A little pricey because of that beer but oh well. Live and learn!

This morning I was eating breakfast and watching TV when Baywatch came on! That's what I'm watching now in Italian and it is so funny! Not only have I not seen Baywatch in years, but watching it in Italian is quite entertaining.

Today and tomorrow I think some friends and I are going to visit some of the museums here. We have cards that let us in to all of them free so that will probably fill our days. That's all for now!

A presto!
