It's Ty's Birthday. She turned 24! Ty is usually the last one to wake up, usually around 12ish. So me a
nd all the roomies decorated the kitchen with balloons and banners. We also got her a crazy hat and some birthday beer and we made her 2 cakes. We sang happy birthday to her in English, Italian, Spanish and Czech! I only sang in English, I clapped along to the others!
The Beach!!!
Tuesday is our day off so we always try to do something so we don't sit around the house all day. We call it traveling Tuesday. This week we went to the Beach. Being here is like being on perma-vacation. We went to a beach called Cesenatico. I bought an umbrella because I don't like the sun and we hung out all day on the beach. Ty gives me a hard time because she says I don't do the beach the right way. She says you aren't supposed to rent chairs and use umbrellas.
Back on the road again
Ornella took me on my second driving lesson and this time we left the parking lot! We went to a spot where there wasn't a lot of traffic. I have to say I am a pretty good driver. I only scared the crap out of Ornella once but I had the situation under control, I knew I wasn't going to hit that car! I would drive along and randomly, Ornella would yell out little boy in the street so I had to come to a sudden stop! I guess the little boys in Italy don't look both ways before crossing the street. For some reason I had a hard time getting into first gear. I was really good at switching from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. I only panicked once the whole time we were driving. I was at a stop about to make a left turn and a car came behind me, I don't know why that made me panic. I stalled out three times and they finally went around me!! The real problem is that I have no idea how fast I'm going because the speedometer is in km/hr.
3 Day old Chinese food=bad
Me, Ty and Leslie go to this Chinese food place near the square called Shin Shin. Its sooo good! When we go I always get two orders of rice so I can have some the next day. Three days later I had about half a thing of rice left so I made some chicken to go along with it and I finished it off. It looked fine, nothing was growing on it, it smelled fine, and tasted fine. After my meal I headed to Gelato Mania and got a chocolate and strawberry ice cream cone. Five minutes later my stomach hit the eject button! I threw up four times!! I had rice coming out of my nose, literally!! I was down for the count!! After every time I threw up Ty kept asking me if I was ok and if she needed to take me somewhere. I kept telling her I was ok and I think that was the end of it. After the 3rd time she told me I sound like a drunk person telling her the same thing over and over again.Its going to be a long time before I can eat Chinese food again. I learned a very important lesson, never eat 3 day old Chinese food no matter what it looks like! I guess you live and you learn.
Sardegna= opposite of three day old chinese food.
This week we went to go play at Nuoro. Its on the island of Sardegna. So I took my first plane trip in Italy. When we got through security at the Bologna airport we went to a wine tasting bar... in the airport!!
When we went to board the plane we noticed that they dont have jetways and its manditory that they bus all of the passengers to the plane. From the door way I could have taken three giant steps to get to the plane, and I'm short. But we all had to get on a bus and ride 3 feet to the plane. Loading all of the passengers took longer than the actual trip to the plane!
Sardegna was amazing. We didn't just stay in a hotel, we stayed at a resort on the beach! The water was beautiful and clear!
I roomed with Carlotta this trip. She is originally from Forli but she just joined the team a few weeks ago because she was in California coaching. The girl is crazy! She says some off the wall stuff, you never know what is going to come out of her mouth. I decided it would be a good idea if I started documenting her quotes. When we got off the plane in Sardegna she started smoking and everybody started giving her a hard time. That's when she said, "I stopped smoking for three days. I went to take a jog and it wasn't any easier, I was so mad! So I started smoking again."
