Trieste: Day 6

Trieste (2010/01/07)
Happiness! Sunny day as we went out to Trieste. Not only that it was Kitty day as well. The cats here are huge, like alley cats. Look like thugs but really want your attention, as in your food.







We then went to the Slovene University in Trieste, and the Italian University in Trieste. Both sides told us their story and I have to say it was very…interesting and confusing. One side says this stuff, one side says the other. It was a tag team of Cat and Mouse. I enjoyed the trip very much. The weather was good and we saw the inside of a castle owned by this one rich dude (no duh). Gorgeous on the outside and NICE on the inside. Made my dreams of owning a castle with Renaissance/Roman architecture come back alive.







Then came the night scene. A very beautiful place that our guide for that day, also the Italian teacher there who told us the Italian side of the story, showed us. The docks, the main square of lovely buildings, the church with the Mosaics and Roman remains of the amp-theatre and museum….awesome. The Italian teacher had connections, and was able to ask his friend of a rich hotel to let us get a look on the inside. Some of the furniture was from like the 19th century. I thought the bathrooms were really nice.







Last there was the pizza. And the cute pizza guy. Two of my friends thought he wasn’t cute, which left him all to me, so I got some eye candy. As for the food. STUFFED. I struggled near the end, but it was so good I had to finish it all. Plus I don’t like leaving food on my plate like that. And a lot of people didn’t finish. Our guest was very hospitably, and the student who came with us helped to order our food and very nice as well. We had a toast, which had alcohol but we called it a fruit drink because it had lemon in it, of long life and good wishes. Like vodka with a kick! The lemon really added to the taste. Some had seconds, but I stopped myself because that drink made my cheeks hot.
Overall, a very good day.




*When traveling, it would be nice to notice your dress attire. Some pieces of clothing or styles might give off the wrong message to someone in a different culture.
