fulvio picked sarah and i up to take us to dinner in bergamo where milena works. we were going to meet her after we ate for drinks. fulvio brought his friend andrea and he was especially hilarious. and yes, he really, really does love mcdonalds. "mi piace mcbacon!" (i like mcbacon! he said repeatedly). he was wearing embroidered cowboy boots and a jean snap button up shirt. he totally ruled! he didn't know much english and i was fumbling through my italian. he was excited to hear we were from new york and texas. new york because he likes "the NBA - new york knicks" and texas because of cowboy-ish stuff i think. sarah told him she would send him a cowboy hat and i told him i would send him a bolero tie - a really ugly one ;) we were all cracking each other up by the end of dinner - which was so freaking unbelievable! i had veal or something with mushrooms and polenta - to die for! and the boys ordered some really good appetizers. it was probably the best meal i've had in years. i so love italy. i don't think i'm ever going to leave!
bergamo is such a beautiful city. tons of cobblestone streets and gorgeous views. after dinner we went for drinks at an irish pub and met milena and her friends from the language school. they were all really nice. here are some pics. note - sarah and i have been unable to do our hair due to unfortunate dissimilar voltage issues so we don't look all that fabu - bear with us:
