Bowling in Italy
14 March 2008
So I went bowling in Italy. Yes, bowling. It was a social activity set up by my school. I wasn't sure if I was going to go, but my Brazilian friend Nanda asked me if I was going and I said that I didn't know. She asked if I had something going on in the afternoon, which I didn't, so she said I had no excuse and I had to come. So I did.
The group ended up being Giacomo (who works in the Secretary at school and puts on these social events); Mara, Nivea and Nanda who are all from Brazil; Sasha and myself. It was a great group. Sasha and I took the bus to school and made it there a few minutes late (which really doesn't matter anyways) and we had to go wait at the bus stop. This week we had some crazy weather here. There were off and on rain showers, and we got caught in a few thunder showers (without actually getting wet luckily). The day we went bowling there was crazy wind. It was a strong warm wind that seems to come from all angles. Our hair looked like we had been at the beach for several hours.
The bus we ended up waiting for was #1, which happens to stop right in front of our apartment. It turns out that we were taking it past there all the way to the end of the stop, so we probably could have just met them at the bowling alley.
The bowling ended up being really fun. I had probably somewhat of a record score and came in second place with 95!! I had not bowled in a few years so my hand was really feeling it by the end of the afternoon and the next day, my muscles were too! Sasha and I are still hobbling a tiny bit. I hope you enjoy the pictures, I'm trying to get more that have me in them for you!
