Travel&Things: Day 12: Work Day

Today we did not necessarily have anything planned. It was more of a work day except there 11 more went to Allan's restaurant to cook with him for lunch. The rest of us did a team building activity, as well as pick up trash at the park. I think the team bonding activities are wonderful to do, it gets all of us to communicate with each other. As well as become a whole instead of feeling left out. Picking up trash was also a great but not the most enjoyable experience. It was a great feeling to clean up the community that is our home base for the trip, but some of the things we found were pretty disturbing. One person even found human poop. After we were done cleaning up trash, we headed back to the hotel to get cleaned up for lunch at Allan's.

Lunch was made by 11 of our friends. Lunch consisted of Caesar salad, rice with cheese, potatoes and porketta. The porketta was made that morning. A butcher came in and showed the 11 of them how to make the porketta. The meal was very good and we also had dessert. For dessert we had Tiramisu. This was like a cake with thick cream in between.

Getting back to the hotel, everyone was working on their assignments. Not the best way to spend your last day in Frascati, but after being there for 10 days, I did not want to go out. Also I wanted to work on my assignments. I spent a few hours working on my blog and doing a bit of research on my presentation. As well as chatting with Donovan a bit about the trip so far.

Later on, Liana & I headed out for dinner. We were originally going to the restaurant she wanted to do for her review assignment, but we got informed it was closed on Mondays. We wandered around looking for a new place. I suggested going a bit further from where we normally are because then the restaurant most likely won't be taken, and that's exactly what we did.

We found a place called 'Gente Di Notte', we got shown to our seats right away. The service was quite friendly and they also had a menu in english. I did not enjoy my bruschetta too much. The server gave me a dessert menu, knowing I did not enjoy my food. The dessert menu was in Italian and our server could tell I did not understand, nor did they have it in english. The server took the menu, typed it into translator and printed off what it was in english for us, it was very sweet of him. Liana and I shared the dessert which was a chocolate coconut lava cake. It was delicious. After dinner we headed back to the hotel and called it a night.
