Sunday

After unpacking and going to the open house the group decided that we would meet up for dinner. We went to this outdoor sitting area of a restaurant and all had wine and good Italian food (note: I did not drink a full glass). I had pizza that had basil, mozzarella and tomatoes on it. It was pretty delicious. Afterwards a few of us tried to find a popular place to dance but stumbled upon a house party instead. The music was shockingly loud. We were taught that the Italians had a set quiet hours’ time and we could hear the music from above the street it was on (hence why we thought it was the dancing location). We quickly got out of that situation after asking for better directions. After not finding the club the group split up, some looking for more nighttime entertainment while others (myself included) just came back to the apartment and talked. The Italians obviously do not sleep at night because there is a bar right below our window. No one was in said bar when we came back around 11 but by 1 the place was crazy crowded. And loud! I do not know when they have a chance to go to bed because it seems as if they were out there forever.
