Cos'è quello?!

We here at Piazza San Giovanni hope that this video adequately expresses how ridiculous the past 36 hours have been.

We went wandering south of the Arno in hopes of finding something amusing. Originally we were supposed to leave at 1 or 2 o'clock. That didn't happen. It wasn't until 5 that we left the apartment, and then it took us an hour and a half to walk 5 blocks. The girls kept dipping into stores on the way. Once across the river, we found some of the best gelato, an art show, and a jazz concert in a piazza. The gelato I got was a tiramisu mousse, so in other words it was heaven flavored. I fully expect that if I make it to heaven, I will perpetually have that taste on my tongue. Speaking of food, I found a piece of art I really liked at the art show. It was of asparagus, which sounds like it would make a very boring picture. But it was awesome. And made me hungry. The real gem of the wandering was Cavalli Club, a night club/restaurant that is housed in a desanctified Anglican church. Roberto Cavalli thought he'd like a night club, so he bought a church and poured FOUR MILLION DOLLARS into it. We didn't realize any of this until we went home and Googled it. When we ended up going there later that night, no one was there, but it was still really gorgeous.

But the real amusement started when we began getting ready to go out last night. We had music on, and at some point someone switched it over to Disney music - hence the video. It was pretty hilarious. We should have just stayed home and continued to make videos of everyone singing like idiots, because all we did all night was wander around aimlessly. We only stayed at each bar for 10-15 minutes. The only redeeming point of the night was when out of nowhere, this segway comes zooming around the corner. Some drunk couple were singing loudly and swerving around. Can you still get a DUI on a segway?

Ciao Bella!
