Sciopero

Ciao!

Today was an odd day. Rainy, and odd. Andrea and I decided to skip the morning session of language classes since our real teacher is still sick and we were looking for some extra sleep. So, instead of leaving the house at 8:20, we left at 10:20. Our university class (museologia) was at 11. The bus picked us up on schedule and we headed downtown. We didn't get very far when we hit a ridiculous amount of traffic. Flash forward and we ended up being on the bus for an hour. It usually takes 20 minutes to get downtown, but we crawled the whole way. As we were melting in the bus, we remembered that we had heard that there was supposed to be a strike (sciopero). So, that's what the holdup was. Needless to say, we never were able to make it to class and had to get out of the bus and walk downtown. We arrived in the center around 11:45 and there was a huge parade of protesters. It was pouring and there was no chance at getting to the university. We walked around until lunch and also bought a hairdryer.

The rest of the day was normal. I came home, took a nap, had dinner, and now I'm here. We're debating whether or not to go out tonight because it's absolutely pouring and there is thunder and lightening. We'll see what we decide.

A domani!
