Fine Settimana

This weekend was a busy one. It has been Italian week this past week with lots of activities going on that went on through the weekend as well.

Friday night was a dinner with one of Doug's work groups (ok nothing to do with Italian week but that's coming up...) But it ended up with 12 of us and very little talk about any school projects. The restaurant was in a little village near by right on the river with a live Jazz band playing, a good start to the weekend...

Saturday was the Italian World Cup of Soccer. Both of us played on Team Americas (North, Central and South America all on one team) We did well, beating Africa, Italy and England, and ending up in the final against Africa. It was a tie game that we lost in the shoot out. After one of the first games when we had to wear vests, due to both teams being the same colour, we decided it was lucky to wear them; although we looked more like a highway crew then a soccer team.

Then that night was the big Italian Party out at a chateau about 20 min away. They had free flowing drinks, a DJ and a great location. Apparently lots of the Insead parties are held at this chateau (because no one else wants us!?) so I am sure we will be back again.

Sunday was The Grand Prix. Go-karting on an outdoor track on a sunny hot afternoon. There were 18 teams of 6 that competed in a 75min time trial. A blast!
