Friday was the big test day. Basically I had to write a composition and she would check if I've improved, which I had. And then I read an article and she asked me questions about it, it went well. I like Guia a lot, she comes in from Rome every day to teach me so I appreciate it.
But she keeps on pointing out Neapolitan things in my Italian that I didn't even realize. Oops.
Then I went to a concert at Piazza Dante with Alessia and Eugenio. The group comes from Naples and they're basically Bob Marley wannabes. Then Annarita and her group showed up. After awhile I got tired and Eugenio and I left. On the way home, I FINALLY had a gelato. Which was my best idea EVERR because I had pineapple and strawberries (two different scoops). It was...fantastic.
Then we came back and fell asleep and woke up at 6,30, headed out the door about 8. We got to Scalea about 11, 11,30. It's a small town, it reminded me a little bit of home. The weather was sooo nice and Scalea is a beachtown, so we went to the BEACH! YESS. IN OCTOBER. I was happy. Eugenio and I stayed at a cousin's house who wasn't there. There was a wasps's nest outside and they kept on attacking. We then went out with Alessia and ate dinner. By the way, Italians put french fries in/on everything - they don't eat it as a side. I had a "hamburger" with french fries IN IT. Wtf?
Then we went to the beach the next day (today). We were there for about 6 hours. The nice thing about their beaches is that they have rocks instead of sand, so no mess! I am nicely tanned. And I was nicely relaxed until we got back to Naples. I didn't miss all the noise, to be sure.
Classes start this week! Let's see how it goes!
