Grapes Galore!

After that fantastic fashion show, Pepperdine took us out for pizza! And I ate about 8 slices. It was so amazing. I had about 5 different kinds. So yummy. After all of that pizza, some friends and I went to the local pub. And we had some fun. Here in Italy they put an average of three shots in any cocktail. Mine had four shots. And I had two. Then I came back and skyped my parents. It was interesting. I think i played it pretty cool. The next morning all who wanted to got to go grape picking! It was SO much fun! We actually got to eat some of the grapes we picked and we each get a bottle of wine using the grapes we picked! I am so excited. It was a lot of hard work but quite delightful! After a full morning of grape picking we had lunch at the vineyard and then came back to the villa for a rest. That night I went to my first SOCCER MATCH! Firenze played Lazio. We lost which was sad. But I had a BLAST! The fans are so amusing. I enjoyed every minute. The match lasted until about 8:30 or 9. So when we got back to the villa we were starving! We literally walked around for 45 minutes looking for a place to eat. We ended up at Cafe Deluxee because it was the only place open and without a wait. Its so yummy! They out the cheeseburgers on bagels! I love it. And the guys that work there are so sweet. After that fun filled day I went back to the villa and crashed. Until 11am the next morning. There was a BBQ at Elizabeth's house. Some BBQ. It was a FIVE course meal. The best food I have ever had! It was just amazing. Her house is precious. We had bruchetta and perciutto for the appetizer. Then we had pasta (pesto and meatsauce)! Then a pizza course, a meat course and then finally dessert. Which was strawberry cheesecake! I about died! We spent almost all day at her house. It was so nice and relaxing. It was just a great Italian weekend!
