First day of Italian class!

My first trip to the butcher to get some legit meat.

Love the professors- sweet & funny, both Antonella and Francesco B. Had another fun afternoon at the Fashion Bar & Coffee with E & Flavia. Met her two friends Alexandra & Tiziana (who knows a bit of English). Tiziana wants to practice her English, and we want to practice Italian, so we got her info and plan to meet often at Fashion to practice! So much fun chatting with them: Flavia made us amazing drinks and Alexandra invited us to visit her pub.

Then E & I went to the butcher shop! Picked out our hunk of steak and got three succulent pieces. Steak tonight for dinner!

1:20am our best night yet! Dinner was seriously awesome- fresh stake, baked carrots, and golden potatoes. Then we hit up the bars again, this time with some new friends E met in Italian class. Such sweet girls! Wound up at La Tana again- full of drunk Americans (ugh, embarrassing) but for the most part we steered clear and got some shocktails of our own for 3.50 euro. Stayed and danced for a while and took some pictures. Eventually we wandered up to see Sem at Fashion Bar & Coffee where he made us the Bailey’s cream drink again. We bonded more with the 4 girls we ended up with, chatting about tons of things. Really sweet girls, so not clique-y, and seem to have similar interests in regards to traveling, drinking, and our whole experience in Perugia altogether. Went back to La Tana to bring home drunk roommates home, wound up staying for a while and talking to some other international students for a while, including Mexican Axel who learned English in school and came to Italy to learn Italian so is fluent in both, but has been hanging out too much with a British friend so he has a funny accent. We’ll go back and see him on Friday I think. Good music, though, and got to dance, finally!

Class tomorrow early, but I’m still excited! Can’t wait to learn more so I can speak more with locals! Muah!
