Today, we got up pretty early and headed down to the tram stop, the one that has the aparently oh-so-famous "Tram 28." After making our way to the tram stop, we hopped on and rode about fifteen minutes to the end of the line. After the last stop, our tram driver told us to get off and then reboard a tram in about two minutes. Ok. After waiting two minutes, the same driver opened up the doors and drove us back to the first stop. Were those two minutes really necessary? I don't beleive so. After being taken back to the end of the line, we found ourselves near an outdoor market where you can find everything from spices to clothing to jewelry. My mom found some pretty jewelry and a sweater, and my dad found some trail mix. Also, there's this giant portable watermelon stand that sells cubed watermelon and watermelon water and everythings so I grabbed some cubed watermelon. Afterwards, we made our way back to the apartment to relax for a few hours. Then, my dad and I headed out for an hour or so to check out the restaurants nearby. After looking around, we came back to the cute little apartment and got my mom and Tony. We all decided on a very nice outdoor restaurant by the riverside. SO PRETTY. After ordering our food, I found my new favorite sandwich, a fantastic mozzarella caprese thing-a-majig. WOW. My mom ordered some pasta which she seemed to adore, my dad got some tri-colored ravioli which also seemed to be a hit, and Tony also got some great pasta. The dinner consisted of a great view, great food, and a not-so-great moment in which the waiter witnessed me choking on a tomato. It was very glamorous. Later, he approached me and very sarcastically said, "So I take it you enjoyed your meal?" THANKS MAN. Very cool. When we'd finished, we took one last walk down the cute streets filled with shops and went back to the apartment, up the seven outdoor flights of stairs (workin' off the pasta am I right?) and then realized we needed to go to the store. After going all the waty back down the stairs we took a last trip to the store down the street, we came all the way back up and my mom and dad headed to the viewpoint to look at the gorgeous lights in the city while Tony and I hung out. Then, my mom, Tony, and I watched "Stripes," with Bill Murray which was hilarious. We then headed to bed to get rested up for some serious traveling the next day.
Thanks for reading! Okay, so this post, yes, is from three days ago, I'M SORRY.
