Still sick, but doing better than earlier. Sadly I have no voice, which sounds interesting. That is probably my fault though. Monday night five of us went and sat on the steps of the Duomo for a few hours. Once again, met creepy Italian guys. One of them actually cursed and spat when he was leaving because we were ignoring him. Another was just plain crazy: he sat and kept looking at us over his shoulder when he thought we weren't looking, before getting up and sprinting away. Legitimately sprinting the length of the Duomo and down the street. We did have a nice time people-watching though. There were some...interesting outfit choices. Especially among some of the Americans.
Afterwards we went to a nearby bar with a larger group of people. Just a small place, but with excellent drink prices - a serious rareity. That was probably where I can be blamed for losing my voice thanks to talking over music. It was fun though, so I don't mind too much.
Last night I met up with a friend from highschool and her family. We had a really great dinner nearby. I tried ribollita for the first time, which is a Florentine specialty. It's bread soup with vegetables. Really delicious and filling. Afterwards my friend and I went down to one of the bridges at sat there for quite some time with amaretti cookies and some wine. It's a surprisingly fun thing to do. I love looking at the bats in particular.
