Day 21 - July 20

 Wednesday. So today is July 20th...which means...I come home in 10 days!!! I cannot believe that at all! It seemed like I would be here forever, but now I just have one weekend left!! It is so crazy!! Anyway...in food we made PIZZA!!!!!!!! The best pizza I have had so far I might add too. I got to make the dessert pizza, but it was the same dough with different shape and different topping so I think I could do it at home also. Today's food was so amazing that when we were done eating there were zero leftovers. Usually there is enough for some people to take food home, but not today. My dessert pizza was made in miniature circles then cut in half, stuffed with chocolate, put together like a sandwich, white chocolate drizzled on top, and sprinkled with cocoa. Oh yea. The pizzas were the main event though. We made four pizzas which were amazingly good. My favorite had red peppers and prosciutto ham. The crust was just perfect, the sauce was fresh, and the toppings were just enough with not too much cheese that you could taste everything in the perfect amount of proportions. Loved it!! Other than the pizzas and the dessert we also had eggplant parmesian (I will make that again, so good) and potatoe suffle. This entire day was probably the best food we have had so far, as a whole. We have made some really good stuff, but everything we had today, I want to make when I get home. I really, REALLY love this class. When that was over I had to do some errands for class and then I went home to sleep. I was exhausted even
with a decent amount of sleep!! 2 hour nap...felt much better. Photography class was also pretty good too. We went to this park and took some outside, nature pictures. Too bad I was like the class idiot and could never get the sun and my camera to cooperate. It was funny after a while because my teacher would keep asking me if I got the picture...and I would keep saying UGH NO. Good thing he has a little "crush" on me so he just laughed it off. Haha I'm just kidding...he is just really nice. When I got home it was time to change and head off to dinner. Bus2alps (the program I used to go on my Amalfi trip) organized a get together at this amazing restaurant for everyone that went on the last trip. So my roommates and I got all dressed up and headed out. Gatto de Volpe. Best dinner I have had so far. It
was like an all you can eat, all you can drink magical feast. We paid 15 euros for about 7 different appetizers on a platter passed around, 3 different kinds of pasta, and an endless supply of white and red wine. It was the best money spent. The penne vodka that we were served...WAS...TO...DIE...FOR. I will be going back for that again. We had so much fun talking with the guides that went on our trip again and drinking with everyone that we decided to go out to a bar after that. It was called Central Park and it was a 45 minute walk. Ugh. We ended up having to call a cab although half way through we realized that none of us spoke Italian so it was a little difficult to explain to the cab where we were. Then they wouldn't drive us because we were trying to fit 9 people in one taxi van. Ha luckily some guys saw us struggling near by and helped to talk to the taxi drivers for us and got 2 cabs to take us where we needed to go. They were the first guys that weren't creepy, and were genuinely nice. Amazing that I have been here for over half my time and those are the first nice guys I've met. Anyway...I get there, have a little fun, and head back in a cab. Get a little lost while walking home, forgot my key inside my apartment, and my phone wasn't working. Good thing one of my roommates was already home and heard my voice from outside the apartment and let us in. It was a fun night, but probably my last time going out while I am here. It is exhausting...especially when I get back from the bar and talk on facebook for a few hours before falling asleep on the couch. I can't really function on 2 hours of sleep very well.
