Monday Night

Monday I had to go to work. Boo. Well, I guess that's normal, right? Heather and Konrad headed to the Duomo to head up on the roof. I still wanna see their pictures from that! They were super brave and took the stairs... I've always taken the elevator! They had a lot of snacks and did a lot of shopping before I met them by the castle. We headed toward Corso Como to get dinner. We saw a lot of weird window displays!



We ended up going to Ganas, a Mexican restaurant. We were there early enough for aperitivo. Wow, it was a hit for us! They had great frozen drinks. I had two frozen passion fruit margaritas. Usually I only have one drink at aperitivo (because you only have to buy one to get the free food, but they do give you a slight break on the second drink), but the first one was so good that I wanted another! And, also the aperitivo was good enough that we wanted to sit and eat more. The selection wasn't huge, but it was pretty good. My favorites were the fresh tortilla chips, and the smokey chipotle salsa. The food was actually spicy! I might head there for aperitivo another night, since the food was so different from typical aperitivo. OK, it wasn't "real" Mexican, but it was good!

On our way home we checked out the display for the Nautical Design Awards there in Corso Como. Heather and I geeked out about winches and movable keels while Konrad humored us. It was a good night!
