Simo and Cagliari

I apologize for the long wait for the next post, I've been on the go and havn't had the time to update, but here goes. I flew out of the piso airport to Cagliari and Simo was there waiting for me on the other end. We headed off to his house and had a pasta dinner before heading out to a local disco until the wee (that doesn't look right?) hours of the morning. Th enext day was easter sunday and I had one the the best and largest easter meals of my life with Simo's family. I then was trated to a tour of Cagliari from the back of Simo's scooter, which was really fun, and I can't believe thay aren't used as much in US cities to get around. The timing of my travels could not have been better because both Willi and Simo were on easter vacation, so that evening we headed off to a beach house about an hour outside of cagliari that "a few of my friends have rented for the vacation" by a few of his friends simo meant about 20-25 in a huge house perched above the ocean. We stayed there the next few nights, and it was, well, an experience I suppose. Its amazing that nobody cares what you do in Italy, we were blasting music and making a huge racket till 6 or 7 in the morning everyday, and they had been doing this all week, never could have happened in the states. After that we headed back into Cagliari for the rest of my stay. The next day we hung out and that eveing I got to play soccer with some of Simo's friends who assured me "don't play soccer". I wish I could play soccer like Italians that don't. But it was a blast. We rented out a small field under the lights for about 40 euros split between 10 of us. I guess tehre are fields like this all over the place in Cagliari and it was really cool. My last day we just hung out around his house and then I headed off to the airport and back to Spain, after a great two weeks of being able to see Willi and Simo. It was so good to be able to see both of them again and I'll try to get some pictures up, but I know you've all heard me say that before, so don't hold your breath. Hasta luego.
