it arrived!!

Ok so that dinner was AMAZING!!! We went to a really fancy restaurant near the center of Napoli. Coach and I arrived first so as we waited for the others they brought us champagne and we looked at pics of the mens Napoli team hanging above our tables. we had a huge meal starting with individual cheese plates everyone got lil mozz balls and ricotta, very good. Then there was classic fried appetizers the zeppoline bruschetta and something else. then we all got a seafood plate, had a lil salmon cake a small white fish and baby fried shrimps all with this sauce, which was very good! Then fusili sicilliano and riso with shrimp and lemon. Oh not done, then we had a bigger white fish with a side of potatoes which was delicious the slow cook their chicken over the potato so you get some of the grease sooo good. Then finally came dessert, which was a chocolate cake type thing. Oh yes and we did have many bottles of white, red, and frizzante wine. I had to be rolled outa there I was so dang full. Then the president said some nice words and gave all a 100 buck bonus. All in all a great night! Friday tried to recover then saturday I finally made it down to Sorrento! Luca picked me up in the morning and we drove there looked around then drove to positano, where we walked around and looked since everything was closed. Very beautiful old city built on a hill. We then headed back towards sorrento for lunch at his favorite restaurant. Where once again had soo much good food. At this place you have different options you can do the classic app dinner dessert or you can have them bring you sample plates as your meal, we did a combo. They sent out sample plates for apps then for lunch I had pasta vongule and he had ravioli caprese (we split). The apps that came out were a squid and potato, a octopus salad-which is my new fav thing- artichoke and potato, homemade olive oil on toast, zeppoline, eggplant and mozz,and a few others I can't remember. after the lunch course we got desserts to split, I of course ordered the tiramisu-bomb- and he ordered this lemon nut thing which was also very good. We shared a bottle of local wine and finished the meal with limoncello. After this we went and walked around sorrento looking at shops buying some limoncello from the factory then returned to my side.
Actually had him drop me off at the military base where I hung out with one of the families we went cosmic bowling had some beers, good night. Next day went and played soccer tennis with two of the girls in the rain was lots of fun. One of the primavera girls had her first ever seizure and although things are coming back clear she of course has been on house arrest and parent watch. So I came by to say hi and took her out to the tennis courts with me. After tennis courts got cleaned up cuz we were off to the movies to watch mission impossible. Was cool to be in a movie theater have popcorn etc. Oh and before every movie on base you stand for the playing of the national anthem. After the movie They returned me home with a few treats of american cereal.
Monday was my bday and very chill, went to montesanto for the day walked around had lunch then had practice in the pouring rain!! I mean it was dumping but it was actually a lot of fun we ran a bit in the begining then my coach shot on my and I was sliding everywhere, lots of fun. Then a few teammates went out to get pizzas and beer with me at a local place was very good and fun.
