Matt didn't have class until 1 today so we slept in until 10:30. At this point, we were disheartened to discover that it was still raining. Though we had chosen to sleep through breakfast, we stopped for lunch on the way to Matt's 1 o'clock class. We each had two courses, with a pasta dish first. He then got some bad tripe (we believe it is the intestine if sme animal but since neither of us is a chef or doctor, don't take our word for it) and I ordered what we though would be fried zucchini. It ended up being boiled zucchini and was not any more fun than the tripe. When Matt was in class, I visited a store called Scout, Bologna's answer to Urban Outfitters, and Footlocker. Scout was basically the size of a small KMart but was segmented into small rooms so it seemed like the store never ended. If I had no fiscal restraint, I wouldve dropped infinity euros on the great clothing they sold, but I walked out of both stores empty handed. I did however find and purchase a deck of cards have a picture of Bologna on them from a tabbacheria (general store).
I spent some time hiding from the rain in the library until Matt got out of class. Then the two of us and two of his friends went to a Santa Lucia market in search of Christmas ornaments that said Bologna on them. We struck out. Afterwards, Matt and I went back to the apartment and relaxed. At 7:15, we met two of the girls on his program for dinner at a pizza place that one of the girls had gone to more than 20 times since she had arrived in Bologna! My pepperoni and peppers pizza was delicious. This was followed by a visit to an Irish pub, where happy hour went from 7:30 pm to 10:30, and then to a gelateria called Grom's, which is also in NYC. After a visit to another bar, we went back to our apartment and fell asleep.
