My mexican dinner at Gregs favorite place for his big 21.
I'm pretty upset for I had a huge blog the other day but then our internet crapped out and I lost it. So sorry for the short explanations of the other day.
Friday was Gregs 21st birthday so 10 of us girls took him out for dinner. Brittni, Kelley, Alyssa and I met up with everyone at his apartment and walked over to Gregs favorite bar that served us 1 drink and unlimited amounts of Mexican food for 8 Euro's. We chowed down there and really enjoyed the restaurant for in the back of the restaurant there was a pool. One of the waiters really liked Katie (one of the girls in my group) and told her that if we wanted to come back sometime after they were closed our group could go swimming. We didn't take him up on the offer but how often do you get offered to go swimming in a restaurant pool? Pretty awesome.
We left there and everyone came back to our apartment for we had made Greg an incredible chocolate cake covered with nutella! Everyone loved it. Eventually I wanted to take a break from our apartment so Marcella, Krosbie and I walked down to

the Joshua Tree so Krosbie could say hey to her boyfriend Paolo. We only hung out for a bit and walked back home to find that more people had come over for Greg's birthday. I couldn't believe how many people were here and that I actually knew most of them. It was a lot of fun for it wasn't out of control, crazy party. We all sat around and talked about America, the difference between Italian women and American women. I didn't get to bed until about 3:30 but it was a very fun and relaxed night. Greg said it was the best birthday he'd ever had.
Last night (Saturday night) I ended up getting sick. I don't know if I'd even call it sick, I wasn't seeing straight so I ended up going to bed really early and getting up early this morning feeling fine.
Around 10 this morning the girls and I had nice spring/easter dresses on and we headed to the Duomo to watch the Explosion of the Cart. It was sweltering hot and there was TONS of people! But the cart was right in front of the doors of the Duomo and smoke was everywhere! I've

I dropped my bed sheets while trying to air them out. I ended up getting them with a rope and a hanger! Sheet fishing.
