We got out of taking the extra class, which was great news. I still haven't brought my laptop to class, but I think we are getting a wifi thing today so I will have internet in our house. I know I am letting all of you down by not posting pictures, but I am extremely lazy in this sweltering heat.
Today we are going to chill by the beach. The water looks quite polluted but the dark volcanic sand beaches should be nice enough. I am not sure what we are doing this weekend, but Naples closes down, so we should get out.
Yesterday I saw a car accident. there were two people (old man and a middle aged lady) yelling at each other. This wasn't the exciting part. The entire street was closed down by a mob of people gesturing wildly and sharing their opinions on the matter. I wanted to stay and watch, but didn't want to risk being involved in any way.
There is a little shop a few streets over that sells 3 bottles of unlabeled wine for a couple euros. I feel like this is the Italy I have been waiting for. Noisy streets, cheap local wine, and slow crowded public transportation.
The streets are really narrow here. Imagine the traffic in Boston, but with smaller vehicles and no room to pass. There are always cars and scooters zooming around on the stone paved streets. Old men sit in plastic chairs on the side of the road pretty much all day. It is impossible to walk abreast for more than a second without risking serious bodily injury.
There is a meat market across from our apartment that has a ice cream stand type display that drips water over stomach and other intestinal products. I am not adventurous enough to try it.
Overall I have been having a good time, but I still feel tired. I am going to try and get as much rest before travelling around this weekend.
The pizza here is good. I think all they eat is pizza and pasta.
