Personal chefs, body guards, hip-hoppers, and Italy learns Zumba

After classes today, Dominic, a friend from Umbra, came over and made us an AMAZING dinner! Pasta and a 3 cheese alfredo sauce with chicken. It kicked butt. We like Dominic.

Then, we hit up the nightlife with Tiziana and her friend Angelica, Andra, Stephanie, Sarah, and Jessica! First to a bar that just opened where we got a free drink each, and at midnight they popped champagne (the cork actually hit me square in the arm ... I kept it as a souvenir). We stayed and danced for a while. They were also giving out hats and thongs with their logo on them ... to promote themselves I guess? Wow. Classy. All I know is that I have a brand new thong with some random bar's name on it. Wooohoo I've always wanted one of those. Then Tiziana & Alexandra called their security guard friend and got us into the HOT new place of Perugia called Velvet. It was really cool inside- hip and snazz and kind of insane, but it was so ridiculously crowded that we only stayed for 10 minutes. Although in that 10 minutes one of the bartenders managed to get a hold of one of our thongs with the other bar's name on it. No idea how. It was gross.
Then everyone else went home and Elisha & I went to Fashion to meet up with Sam and Dash and at 3:15ish we went to Domus, the discopub! Danced the whole night (er, morning?) away! this time mostly with a guy named MJ who is a SICK dancer. Like, I was out of my league with him. He was poppin' and lockin' all over the place and I just had to resort the the 3 cool hip-hopish things I can do (which are VERY difficult to accomplish in heels, by the way). But he taught me some sweet moves and I taught him some and I left a more well-versed hip-hopper than when I arrived, so it was a successful night altogether!

And OH MY GOSH- the highlight of my night that made me want to blog about this evening in the first place!! Andrea and Melissa, this one's for you. They played yet another Zumba song at Domus. I'm going to let you guess which one, but I'll give you a hint- It's definitely a favorite. A frequent request. And a dance that we often break into when not at Zumba (to everyone else who's reading this, that activity is totally normal in la mia famiglia). I screamed in excitement and did part of the dance and sang along at the Italian discoteca. Shelley would have been proud!
