Mexican and Vicenza

Wednesday night I went out for Mexican food in Italy. It wasn't anything special. We were going to try to go to another place, but apparently it is a little expensive and kinda far away so we settled and a tex-mex pub. I was still excited just to eat something other than pizza and pasta (not that I am complaining!). Anyway, it was okay. They didn't have nachos which is what I really wanted but instead they just had chips and salsa. Anyway, I had two tortillas (soft tacos basically) with chili and beans. It was good, but I also hope to be able to go to the other one soon because maybe it will be more authentic. It was a good time though.

Yesterday (Thursday) was also a really fun day. I had planned a day trip with a few friends into Vicenza. There were five of us total, three Americans, one Italian, and a German. It was a good day. None of us really knew what we wanted to see but it was nice because it was a relaxed day for the most part. We walked around a lot and went into a few museums and palaces, and we all had lunch together. It was really nice to spend the day with some different people and I hope that we can do something like this every week. Maybe not with everyone but at least with a few of us, because it is such a better way to see different places than by yourself. This weekend, we will all work on planning our outing for this week! Here are a few pictures from the day:

this is the Teatro, the only thing we knew we wanted to see, so we started there. It worked out pretty well.

this is almost everyone at lunch, left to right is Mimi (American), Andrea (Italian), Me (American), and Jenny (German). Susan is American also and was taking the picture.
