Day 7 - Pisa and Peas

Jan. 27 marks the first full week I have been in Europe.

I have experienced many different things some good some bad.

Tuesday we had our second day of class, Italian is going well.

The weather has been chilly but not as bad as the states. However, on Tuesday we traveled to Pisa to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was windy, cold, and rainy. Our pictures didnt turn out too well because of the darkness and rain. We didnt walk around much because we were too cold so instead we went to a Mcdonalds to warm up! It was the best Mcdonalds I have ever been too! It was classy, warm, very technologically savy, and had the best FOOD! I hate American Mcdonalds food but this was great!

I was full from the French fries I had at Mcdonalds but I never say no to one of our hotel's 3 course meals. Every night you have to sign up for a vegetarian meal for the next day, and because dinner on Tuesday was veal I signed up for a salad -- Unfortunately, 12 extra people took vegetarian meals even if they didn't sign up. Therefore, I was left with a big plate of peas! They were good, but as a course, peas was a little pathetic.

I ended the night with a nice hot shower to warm me up after the cold wet day in Pisa and finished my Italian homework.
