Well its been a while and I'm sorry. I have been busy busy with school. BUT I have had some time to explore and celebrate with my friends here....
We had a day off a while ago and 2 girls, Giampietro and I all headed to Trieste, Italy then on to Slovenia to see Portorose and Purian. All three are beautiful seaside cities. I had the best seafood of my life in Trieste. We had a great time and I have never seen Giampietro so relaxed. He's like a 42 year old negative Ned. Always complaining about something or making tacky jokes about America, but you just gotta love him! He looked 10 years younger! Gen and I chased him with some streamer we found on the street through the center square of Trieste. We didn't explore all the towns like we wanted because it was bitter cold. In Portorose we walked around just a bit then hit the casino... I won 10 euros. GO ME! lol.
On the way home we stopped at a pizzeria in Monte Bulluna - Dad it was better than the one we ate at I promise. He did say that there was another one on the other side of town like he liked more. I told him we'd have to go there next time. They have pizzerias in Italy like the our gas stations in the states. Oh and I almost forgot about the drinks Giampietro ordered!! They have these delcious little smoothie drinks. They put them in fun little glasses and its made with lemon gelato, prossecco, and a splash of vodka... he said he and his buddy used to order them a pitcher at a time! We had two and called it good. :) They were so pretty though! 'll make them when I get back! :)
Two nights ago James turned 25. We held a pub crawl for him that went just swimmingly. The title of this blog was basically his theme for the night! I think we had everyone show up for the dinner portion, or close to it anyways. Its always a good time when we all get together.
OK off to dinner... my tummy to growling. Love you guys!!
Good for Giampietro..he needs to loosen up a little. All americans aren't crazy and all Italians aren't ????. You can fill it in I don't want to hurt his fellings. Sounds like you had a good time. Giampietro is getting old enough that he sometimes has to remember how to have fun. Tha's sad but we all get in that rut sometimes. Glad you guys freshened him up. Make your grades and continue your studies in exploration and fun.I am proud you quit at two.
ReplyDeleteSure glad the pizza was better. Ours was pretty sad compared to the local shop..Maria's?
ReplyDeleteThanks for an absolutely amazing birthday! I can think of no better way to cap off the first quarter of my life - great times with great people. I decided that I might drink a little less from now on so that maybe I can remember my next 25 years!
