The Italian final went fine but it was super difficult to say goodbye to Mario. However, he's trying to "escape Italy" as he says, so he requested some recommendation letters - I'm definitely going to write him one! The rest of the morning, we ran around trying to do last minute souvenier shopping. We went to the pastacceria Jim told us about - um omg! The best cannoli I have ever tried! The baker was trained in Naples on how to bake these babies…yeah, definitely fresh! I also got a brownie chocolate looking delicious thing to share with MC later. That was SO good - like the best fudgy brownie thing I've ever had! Since it was super hot outside, I decided to spend the afternoon chilling inside the school, catching up on emails and updates. I was getting kinda hungry around 2 ore so and as I headed out for a quick snack at Café del Duomo, I met up with Josh and we decided to go together to get a drink. Josh was so sweet and paid for me…at 2:26pm, I tried a Sex on the Beach for the first time ever!
Dinner that night was really fun too - MC and her neighbors wanted to have an outdoor picnic so I invited Gabrielle and Emily upon Maria Carla's insistance and we had ridiculously delicious pizza! I tried 2 new kinds - a tuna fish one and a spinach parsley and shrimp one…awesome! For dessert MC made a fantastic ricotta pie/torta and the others chipped in for gelato. When it came over to us Americans, the neighbors were baffled when we asked for a slice of pie WITH ice cream - they looked at us like we were crazy but it was SO good! I took a picture with Maria Carla which was sweet but very bittersweet at the same time. It just hit me…I only have one more day with her!
