Today we were going to go to Milan
after school but we decided to go tomorrow. After school, we just walked toward
the city to look for the place to sign up for cooking classes. Alexia and
Kristi decided they were the only ones who were going to take the class, so
Morgan, Katie, Crystal and I decided we would probably go to Tijuana,
which is a Mexican restaurant that Javier told me about the first night here,
for some margaritas and quesadillas! Happy hour was from 7-8 and we found
another place that is from 8:30-9:00.
However, our plans changed when we got lazy and sat around until 8. We decided
to go to Red Garter/House of Sizzle for their happy hour from 8:30-9:30. We stopped at the internet point
before going there and met Kristi and Alexia there. We all decided to head over
together and when we were at the end of the Ponte Vecchio on our side, an old
man came up and started talking to us! I thought he was kind of creepy but he
talked to us forever and wanted to know our names and where we were from
(Californiaaa! Bella!) He even asked us where we lived and Kristi started to
tell him the street and Katie and I were thinking oh goodness, let’s just write
it down for him. He may have been a perfectly nice old man, but I thought he
was creepy! When we finally got rid of him, we went and sat down at House of Sizzle,
which is a restaurant that is attached to Red Garter (the bar). They had
Budweiser! We were slightly excited for it and I also got a chicken sandwich
that was really, really good. Best part = ranch dressing! It will probably be
my new favorite restaurant. American beer and ranch dressing, how can anything
compare? The best part of the night was Katie’s two liter pitcher of Heineken
that she finished on her own. Needless to say, but I will say it, she was
slightly drunky after that! The guy who runs the House of Sizzle (Francesco) is
really funny too, he was talking about how all our pitchers were making him
thirsty and we told him to get us Bud Light from the supermarket and we’d
basically pay him to drink with us! He was originally from Nottingham,
England so he spoke
English very well. What a great night though, discovering ranch dressing in Italy!
