Another day =)

I FINALLY got a ride on my cousin's motorino yesterday. And yes that IS what I was most excited about. I love that bike. I love motorcycles. Don't ask me about the different makes or models, just ask me about the feel of being on one. Now I know that a motorino is probably nothing compared to a full motorcycle but sheesh the feeling has got to be the same. Or close to it.
Anyways yesterday was a full one =). Thank goodness for my timing because as soon as I was out of the shower, Lina and her grandma, my Zia Anna, were in the backyard calling for me. That's what they do...someone comes over and lets them in the gate with their key (everyone has them to my place since they all check up on it once in a while) then they stand in the backyard and call for me. It's hilarious. And of course I have to race to open one of the heavy security doors and say "i'll be down in 20 minutes!! wait!!" So I went with Lina to one of her friend's houses and listened to them chatter away and answered the few questions that came my way. I just liked to watch them talk. I know that sounds funny but sometimes they speak faster than their lips move. And they speak San Giuseppese, which is a dialect of Napoletan which is a dialect of Italian. It's any wonder how I'm learning the language properly here haha.
After we were there for a bit, went back to the family street (I'm just going to go with that since 5 out of the 7 siblings of my grandpa's family all have houses on the same street) and I went to Eleanor's for lunch again. After, Giusy and I went to the mall in Nola, which is a thing of beauty because it doesn't even LOOK like a mall....it looks like a giant hill with windows way at the bottom. It was built to look like that and has solar panels scattered amongst the shrubbery that covers it. We took her "neice" (boyfriend's niece who is 16 because his sister married young and he was way after the sisters) and we had a girls' afternoon out. I'm pretty sure I introduced Giusy to H&M and she loved it. Somehow narrowed the 8 things in her hand to buy down to 2. I don't know how that happened.
After I went and relaxed at home for a bit and tried to sleep because I knew I was going out with Michele and his friends and I had a funny feeling that it would be a late night. Nothing crazy, just sitting on a beach near Sorrento and eating pizza with a crowd of people. His friends are hilarious and I swear I think most of them have never met anyone from the States before because they were so curious about everything. Had me teach them a few English words and had a good laugh of trying to teach me some slang. I still have no idea what the words I was saying mean because they really couldn't explain it. Hilarious night but man was I happy to get to bed. And good thing too because today has proven to be a very very busy day as well. Read on =).
