Day 6

We had our first test in our class today everybody found it difficult. I had a hard time because I have been selling diamonds my way for the last 4 years and they want us to say things in a very specific way. Tomorrows test is supposed to be harder but I feel really confident in it. For me test taking is more about how to take the test than studying all of the facts.
On to the cool stuff, while Steph was talking to her parents tonight I saw a guy leave his house with a broom and a long handled dust pan, as some tourists were walking buy he flicked something out of it and said to the passing tourists "I wouldn't pick it it up." I could see the guy had dogs but I couldn't imagine why he would be leaving dog shit on the side walk or why the tourists were just standing there staring at it. As I approached the rather large turd unfolded and began scurrying down the side walk. When I have better computer access I will attach a picture of the tarantula that made Steph squeal and swat sporadically at random itches for the following hour.

Dinner: We went to an Italian  restaurant called Guido's. It is almost a fusion menu but I don't know the chefs know that and it isn't fused with a singular alternative culinary region. It hit the spot though, we wanted to change up some of the flavors and environments we had been eating in. The back patio is very romantic, filled with tropical plants and candles. The food was excellent we started with the special of the night, some very fresh, and delicious muscles and some "garlic bread" that was just a pizza oven fired flour tortilla  with garlic butter on top but was really good. I got a kind of Italian/Mexican octopus dish that was rich and flavorful but still rather light. Steph got a basic spaghetti that hit the spot. A little more expensive than what we have been eating but we got a bottle of wine, and the above mentioned for about $65. Or waiter, Victor, gave us the locals discount too.
