Had our first meal on our own: real Italian pasta salad! With fresh herbs and house-made mozzarella, it was definitely to die for! We also got to experience our first boot-legger. He came up to our table and would not stop heckling us (in both Italian and broken English) to buy his stuff so he would be able to eat lunch. It was pretty scary that it took a full 5 minutes before he walked away. I think the mistake was looking him in the eye the first time we said no, instead of just ignoring him, because after many minutes of "no. no. no. no" we finally just ignored him and went back to talking to eachother and he walked away. Luckily we had a heads up that this would happen and we had an idea of how to deal with it, and we conquered our first sketchy encounter. This difference in culture is definitely going to be a learning experience!
