Lucia’s Students

Today (March 30) I went to the Laghetto while I waited for Lucia’s students to show up. The larghetto is this little man made lake just out of the city. It’s a really cute place, pretty dirty, but it doesn’t stink. There are really pretty trees all around. I thought I would read a little Eat. Pray. Love. seeing as how I don’t have any Harry Potter to read. Here is a what it looked like.




There was a “waterhorse” in the middle of one half of the lake.

While I was waiting, I walked to McDonald’s and did something that I’m sure would have sent me straight to hell if I died just after doing it. I was waiting in line, it was hot, there were people all over, super crowded, and just as I was about to be at the cashier this woman jumps in front of me. At this point I’m pissed. I look at her, say “Scusi” and start to tell the man my order. The woman behind me starts to tell me that I was wrong for not letting her go telling me that clearly I can see that she is pregnant. I knew she was pregnant but I seriously didn’t feel like she had the right to jump in front of me. I felt a little bad about it afterwards but when I was thinking about if I were in America how it would have worked I felt that I was right in what I did. Well, maybe not right. I should have let her go. But she should have asked. Having a fat belly does not give you the right to forget your manners.

I met up with the girls and we left for the movie theatre. We went to see a movie called Colpo d’Occhio. It was a really interesting movie about a man who is cheating on his wife with a woman who then cheats on him and they break up but he becomes friends with the guy that she cheated on him with and then he ruins her relationship with the new guy and eventually kills the new guy. It was sad but it played on the idea that there was a deeper, psychological meaning for everything that happened. I still liked it.

Afterwards we went to get gelato at a place called Gioliti. They have pretty good gelato but my favorite was the one in Aversa. The girls and I were exchanging words, trying to figure out what the English/Italian equivalent was. It was a bunch of fun and I cant wait to hang out with them again.
