I'm beginning to feel more settled. Friday night we ate a typical 4 course italian meal which was delicious. Then we headed out to discover the local Siena nightlife. There are a total of 2 dance clubs in Siena and we hit both. The first was a trendy bar with almost all European men eyeing anything female who walked through the door. Our group planted in the middle of the place and I remained in my seat for most of the time because the boys in our group offered protection. After that we decided to explore the dance club near our apartments. It was also all guys but was a great place to dance, of course, to American music. Ended the night late which is defintely what the sceneis around here. There are hundreds of people out all night and most do not start their evening, even dinner until at least 9 or 10.
Yesterday brought on the grocery store. I hardly knew what to buy and when I got to the milk section it was quite a dilemma. None is refrigerated, it is all in cartons and there are about 12 different kinds. I couldn't read any of them. I picked one, randomly, and my cereal this morning tasted alright so I think we're good.
Because I'd Easter we all met this morning for mass at the Duomo. The cathedral was gorgeous and the service, although entirely in italian, was beautiful.
It poured rain today so unfortunately we were holed up inside for the rest of the day. The upside - gelateria was still open and in Italy it is perfectly ok to eat gelato no matterthe weather. And it is good. My next goal is to become best friends with the gelato guy at the place I've fine literally every day. By next week I'll be a regular.
Ciao for now!
