Full day 2

Today was my 2nd full day but it seems like I've been here longer. Glenda and I had an adventure looking for a bank to trade some of our US dollars. First off, banks here have the craziest hours, from 8:30 am to 12:30 then closed til 2:30 or so then open for another hour. Second, none would trade our dollars for euros. We found out that one bank would do it if we showed our passport but when we got there after class, it was closed for a meeting. Porca vacca!

We went to the market and I got some bananas and strawberries. I also got a delicious cannoli and 2 wonderful looking muffins for breakfast later, they were very reasonably priced. We had class this afternoon and made hummus and tzatziki, which were both yummy.

The language barrier isn't as bad as I thought. I can say a few words and point my way through that. A lot of people speak english at least a little bit.

We have been looking all over for this specific gelato shop and I think we figured out where it is. It's the same one we went to on my first day here, it's supposed to be the best.

Tonight we will have dinner that the students will prepare, I hope they wash their hands first! Tomorrow night for dinner we are trying a supposedly awesome pizza place, yay!
