Old Bridge, Burberry London, Cioccolata!

Well well after living the island life all weekend it actually feels nice to be back in the city. A friend and I went to the dance studio last night. It was a large, very professional studio and reminded me of the ones I've been to in NYC. It was quite intimidating! We watched some of the classes and all of the dancers seemed to be experts. However, the Flamenco dancing didn't really go as planned. We recieved the wrong schedule and showed up for an intermediate class, plus we didn't have the proper shoes ( a necessity for all of the stomping). We later found out that these cost 85 Euro! Anyway, we decided to watch and I was in awe! These women were amazing. The teacher totally looked the part with the huge gold hoops, voluptus curves and long black hair. She was incredible! As I watched them I decided that at some point in my life I will definately learn to dance like this! Until then, my friend and I are going back to the studio tomorrow for a modern/jazz class.
On the way home we decided to go to Old Bridge, one of the famous gilatto bars. However, this place was more than your typical ice cream stand. At least 30 ppl were standing around outside licking ENORMOUS cones. In fact, I dont know how its physically possible to get that much icecream to stay on a cone! As usual I couldnt decide which flavors I wanted to try. But I went for the Zuppa Inglese- this tasted like angel food cake batter, Bacio-chocolate with nuts and Cafe. This was a delicious combination!
Today while I was at work Giuseppe and I weren't really getting much done so he suggested that we go shopping! We went to the Vatican City shops! Access to these shops is limited to the 1,500 Italian citizens that live or work in the Vatican, as well as the 2,500 people that work in the Roman Curia. Luckily I was with the proper company. We browsed around and stepped into a perfumeria. I was sampeling Burberry's newest fragrance, London as Giuseppe leaned over my soldier. He said the perfume smelled wonderful on me and told the shop keeper that we'd take it! If this wasn't enough, the next step was Cioccolata! Here, he purchased a box of imported dark swiss chocolate for each of us. Wow, I could really get used to this treatment=)=)
Anyway, I'm off to Wine Time to sample some vino and formaggio. Ciao!
