We were taken on a fifty-person tour of the area around the Duomo. Apparently, they varied in age even among the buildings in the square. However, it was a little difficult to hear the tour guide when you're thirty people back. Andrea and I realized that we were in some ancient castle... and had no f-ing clue about what it was called, when it was built, or even its historical significance. Thanks, IES. Now I have to go back by myself and try to figure it out.
Afterwards, I had the chance to stop by at a friend's apartment, and visit another supermercato. I purchased some cheap-ass Italian shaving cream, some razors, and six liters of water. The water only cost me 1.20 Euros, which is pretty damn good. I just didn't want to drink out of the sink anymore. When we were checking out, and I was being shouldered aside by a three-foot-six Italian grandma with an armful of leeks, I kinda turned my head to the side and zoned out while the seated cashier lazily rang folks up. A few seconds later, I belatedly realized that I was staring at the eye-level condoms the supermercato had strategically placed next to the register.
Oh, I had to bag my own groceries, too. And buy the bags.
I rode the subway by myself for the first time here. Not that that's a big deal- I'm just surprised that I didn't get lost. Nearly, but no. Took a little bit, but now I'm more familiar with the city. Strangely enough, I'm really starting to like it, with all of its smog and general grossness.
Oh, and just now I had two Italians bust into my room for a room check to make sure everything was working, then gasp when they saw that I was half-naked.
Looks like I'm gonna have to get back into the gym.
