Ska-P

on wednesday night i went to a concert of a Spanish ska band here in Padova. before the concert, i met up with Liza and two of her friends from home who were visiting to have dinner. they had made a huge meal with two types of pasta, zucchini and eggplant, salad, radicchio, bread, and for dessert homemade tiramisu. it was all amazing and after we finished early dinner we headed to Cafe Madrid to meet up with the others who were going to the concert, and we biked over to the stadium  where it was. this was the first concert i have been to since ive been in italy...so i was really excited. the venue was huge, and we made our way to the front of the floor section right before Ska-p started playing. i hadn't heard of them before coming to italy, but i know a handful of their songs now and all of their music is just fun to dance to. the singer had many ridiculous costumes, including one of an uncle sam type on stilts. overall it was super fun and i was really happy about it. i might go to a killers concert in june and then we are planning on seeing Madonna in july..

the other day on a spur of the moment decision, Talin and i booked a flight to Brussels. we have been trying to find a way to meet up with our friend Paola that came to Padova last semester while she is in the Hague/Amsterdam during her spring break for a conference. so we are going to go to brussels and amsterdam next thursday through sunday. i havent traveled since last semester so i am really excited. also will be seeing two new countries!

a presto
