Food Fashion and Fun Part 2 again

And I had a carciofi that was basically like potato chips, made out of artichokes! For dessert we had an unbelievable cream cake thing that I cannot even begin to describe. The crust seemeed to be made out of the dough that they make lobster claws out of..but it was soft in some places, and flaky in others. Then there was that delicious unpasteurized (sp?) cream business, then on top, the best part, were all of these thin rows of some sort of sugare creation. Like the brown sugary chewy part of cowtails, except not in that artificial chemical tasting way, but in that delicious sweet and texture way. So great. The next morning we overslept and missed our train.... C'e la vita. 

 

This week was actually a fun week at school. Well, the end of the week. On Thursday night, one of our friends who gave us a tour at the modern art museum here told us about a friend of his who is exhibiting her photographs at a bar/cafe on the other side of the river. So we went got some gelato, went to the antique fair (I got the coolest door knocker of all time) and then went a tiny bit of vintage shopping..I got shoes... After that we we met up with Martino for some Aperitivo  at his friends art exhibit and he introduced us to the artist. She was very cool and we actually spoke for a really long time. It was really neat that she actually sat and talked with us because the place was packed! After that we went to this really fun relaxed bar/cafe called Rex where there was live music (which was a surprise to us!) and then a Dj. Also, the woman who runs one of our favorite vintage shops (where I got the shoes) bartends there. It's super nice because we have started to build up a community here, so its great to see people we know when we go out. My roomate Danielle has gotten to be friends with one of the DJs at Rex...whose name is Danielle Cavalli - thats right! Roberto Cavalli's son! 

At Rex we met up with our friend Alexandra who is dating a guy that lives here so we met up with his friends as well. All of his friends were so warm to the both of us, kisses on both cheeks, italian conversation, it was great. We see them all over and its so nice to have friends around the city. After Rex we went home and went to bed!
