a weekend in Italy

Im writing tired but vowed I would get it all out tonight because by tomorrow night I may have another amazing story about a beautiful day in this beautiful place. Tonight i have spent too many hours in front of this laptop doing work and it brings sadness to my heart but the thought of all ahead and the weekend i had makes me very happy! :)

This weekend we stayed around Sansepolcro and even though its a small town there is lots to discover... for me and Nicole we chose the community pool on a hot saturday. So you have a community pool in ITALY on a hot saturday. yes, there was skippy bathing suits and young italian men in speedos and there i was sitting in my chair (which we discovered was not a free amenity) in my one peice trying to just read my Italian Fascism book and not get distracted. The old man that yelled at Nicole was the reason we learned the hard way that you just cant grab a chair, you must go get one for 2 euro...nicole was able to figure out he said something along the lines of "what are you doing you didnt pay for that" before he snatched his chair back and put it in the same useless spot we found it where it sat lonely...
Getting back from the pool was the first of many attempts i have had to go run with nicole. failed that day of course but we prepared for the night and after seeing all my family on skype (cats included) we headed out for the night with some new friends. little did we know that after pre dinner drink and chat and long wait for amazing pizza that we would be going to the disco techa. the price was steep but i enjoyed it once we got in. i finally got to dance again, and i must say... a club that plays even grease lightning AND cotton eye joe with a mix of american songs is a good place to be on a saturday to me. that brought with it quite a long bedtime... and of course some very sweaty hair and cigarette scented clothes from all the people at the disco techa. i learned why they said "bring febrezze" that night.
sunday i rolled out of bed in enough time to get lunch with the whole group at the restaurant right behind the palazzo. AMAZING. of course... nothing less here in italy. i had pasta with goose meat. like ground beef to me but o so good and then the meat came... there was the roast beef but then there was this other meat that i told myself MAY have been rabbit but was like im in italy and i am eating it. well i had a slice of little bunny foo foo at lunch. tasty though :)
the rest of the day consisted of the most beautiful bike ride yet on the most beautiful day in Sansepolcro yet... wow im such a lucky girl. even got to see lots of the city and places around sunday. going to bed here now. finally finished english among the midst of many skype and facebook chatting which held me back probably hours... but i just must walk with john rose in the morning. ciao till the next adventure <3
