Day 3- First Day in Lucca

I wake up to go to Kelly's apartment, one of the other professors. My other bag is suppose to leave Lucca at 8:30am, which is about an hour away. I now have had on the same clothes going on three days. I will never pack all my clothes in one again, another note to self. So it wasn't there, Kelly suggested I come back in another hour or so. I go back to my room and crash, I didn't sleep that well last night. I wake up its now 2pm, almost time to meet at the studio. I rush to Kelly's house and I see her leaving out.

I catch her, grab my bag and rush to shower and put on clean clothes. That shower has to be the best shower ever. As a grad assistant, I have to help straighten up the studio. So I get there, we are unpacking boxes, moving stuff and getting setup. Talk about some real manual labor! The other people in the program come and we get a packets on Lucca. Try to figure out where to go to get stuff. Two people in our group are still trying to get here, they are having problems with customs.

Then my art seminar class met, we got handouts of stuff to read for the trip tomorrow. After a few of us leave to grab dinner at this restaurant called Ristorante Giglio. I was starving, I hadn't eaten all day. They brought us bread and dinner couldn't come fast enough. Another note to self: don't drink campaign on an empty stomach, it made my headache worse I think.

This was a really classy restaurant and the food was great. I had pasta stuffed with meat and meat sauce...ravioli. I did decide not to drink the wine however...which is so good here. After I decide to go to sleep, while the others hung out a bit. I go back to the room, which I am now able to open all the doors with no problems.
