So all public transit was on strike this day. Which is awesome since we bought a 3-day pass yesterday. Stupid Alessandra!!! She coulda told us... it was a planned strike. Oh well. We definitely made a day of it! :)
We decided to get smashed on the dock just down the road from our hotel. Bought 2 bottles of wine (Thanks, Tracy, for the pocket knife with corkscrew!!!) and laid out our towels, and the drinking began. Played "would you rather" for hours, haha. What an awesome day. The weather was perfect and it was great to just lay around and drink wine all day with my best friend. :) After most of the wine was gone, a guy from the bar across the street came down with 3 beers. He was working there, apparently. Marco. Nice guy. He invited us to come up to the bar in an hour or so because they were having a party. Awesome! Thanks, Marco!
After a quick wardrobe change (of course!), we went to the party. They had lots of wine and beer, which we didn't pay for, and fresh, thin sliced prosciutto! Marco greeted us and sat us down at a table with a bunch of his friends. It was so much fun and everyone was so nice and friendly. It was kind of a big party! The prosciutto was amazing and we couldn't stop eating it. And the beer, mmm... San Souci, I believe they said the brand was. Wow, was it great!
So after a while, we realize that we are at Marco's BIRTHDAY PARTY! haha, he didn't even tell us! They gave him 7 gifts, which had some significance but we aren't sure what. And then they carried him off to throw him in the canal. And then we had a brief limbo contest. (PS...Clare and I? Wasted. Especially this girl. Haha...)
To spare you the details, we left rather abruptly when I started to not feel the best. :) Oops! It was worth it though, because it was suchhhhh a fantastic day! And we got to go to an Italian guy's birthday party! Heck yes! Can't beat that.
