I just want a cup of coffee

Today I made sure I didn't sleep in so I woke up at 10 and ventured through the rain to the grocery store. It is quite difficult to shop in Italian but we all were pretty successful. Once we got home we just hung around because from 1-4 seista is going on and all the stores shut down. We then ventured out in hopes of finding a coffee maker/ coffee. We went to a cafe and I ordered cafe and got an americano Italians don't drink coffee they drink espresso black. They also charge you to sit down about 2E if.. so you can stand up at the bar and sip on your espresso. an Americano is espresso with water added to it. I had to ask for more water and milk in order to get it down. Once I finally finished my cafe I felt like I was drunk and dizzy due to the intense amount of caffeine I had just consumed. Whitney and I tried to find a coffee maker around the city but we had no luck and I ended up buying a cute pair of black boots instead :). Our next plan of action was to get instant coffee so we did and we will see how it turns out tomorrow morning. I might go to this pub called the red garter later tonight to watch the super bowl which should be a good time.
