Today we explored the vast
Went to the Hard Rock Cafe for lunch (and after dinner last night--more about that later). The group I was with had never been so happy to have American food--one of the girls consumed nearly an entire bottle of Heinz ketchup with her fries and burger.
Needless to say, we're all ready to go home at least to some extent. We've gotten word of bad weather there, and hope that there won't be any more to keep us from getting home on time Sunday night, because we are all looking forward to resting up and chilling out, and more importantly seeing friends and family again, after two weeks of seemingly non-stop going.
Dinner last night was the best dinner we've had since we've been here--we went to a tavern, and that was really really fun. There was a band (kind of reminded me of the mariachi bands they have at Mexican restaurants) and they played some Italian music and played their versions of some American songs--Frank Sinatra's "My Way," Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You," and Elvis Presley's "Love Me Tender." Oh, and it wouldn't have been right if they hadn't played "That's Amore" too--we sang what words we knew with them. That was lots of fun. There were four courses to the meal, so no one was hungry afterwards--it was so much food, but it was so good.
I think that's all for now, except to warn you that phone cards are evil, verging on becoming the bane of my existence, but that's another story for another place. Ciao!
