Barcolana!!!

I am spending the weekend in Trieste (switch to SAT view). There are 2 notable things I need to mention about this period:

• yesterday evening: my hosts invited me to a party. It was in a nice house in the city center. After a few seconds I understood there was something wrong and cool at the same time: people talked italian or english indifferently, both very well. I just couldn’t help laughing for a while because that was a strange situation. I soon found out the organizers were a couple, the husband from Trieste, the wife from England. All the 4 sons are going to college in UK. Sob! The first time I hear one of them speaking in English, I thought "Look, they host an English student". All of a sudden, this guy started talking local italian dialect, crazy!
• today: it’s the Barcolana day: people everywhere, boats everywhere. Yesterday I was at the seaport to see all the boats. The variety was great, from ultra-competitive ones to vikings one :)

So far I’ve spent a great time, now I need to get back to work, bye!
