Day 7: David & Pizza Making

YAY! Today we went to see the statue of David! It was sooo cool, and larger than I expected! His hands are very disproportionate to his body. Pictures were not allows....(but I obviously had to take some!!)

After seeing David, we did a walk around the city with our local guide. She showed us the Gate To Paradise, a pretty river, churches, and a golden hog that I cant remember the name of. After finishing out city walk, we went to lunch were we had REAL ITALIAN PASTA! I ordered cheese pasta, while some ordered black pasta in seafood sauce. The black pasta was made of squid ink, so it turned everyones teeth, and mouths black(temporally). I was very pleased with this mean, I had 2nds on pasta.
After finishing the pasta, I sent out my post cards, and got to go to a leather factory. They taught us how they made the jewelry boxes, and how they used iron and gold paper to "stamp"/"engrave" letters onto the pieces. Edward was called out as an volunteer, and he stamped on a crest or some sort of logo/icon onto a little piece of leather. They lady said that he could keep the little piece of leather, and he got so excited because him and his dad love leather.
Since we are in a large group we got 30%off (I believe) if we spent over a certain price. Sorry mom, I didnt buy anything there, but parents you'll be sure to see what everyone else bought--some even bought purses and brief cases that were about $200! (yes, in america Dollars!) Avi tried on some leather pants, and some of the boys (shiv, dylan and robin) but on leather vests.

We had dinner at a farm/hotel/hall/large area, where we made out own pizza and ate it!!
I was the 2nd person to finish spreading out my dough, so me and Haylie got first pick, and best choices for ingredients. I had tomato sauce, LOTS of cheese, and some corn! Once a few people at our table got their food, I started eating, and it was AMAZING!! I ate the whole pizza except for the crust(it was kinda burnt), and we had chocolate mousse for dessert!

After that we headed back to our hotel, and had about an hour of free time--most played capture the flag...some of us girls sat on the side, played games on our phones, gossiped ;), and watched the others play.
