I can’t begin to describe how much I like Cagliari already, but I’m going to try (oh and I will add a few pictures at the end of the blog post to try and show how beautiful it is).
The first day we arrived in the city, we settled in to our rooms very quickly and then immediately decided to explore the city and find some true Italian food. We stumbled upon a restuarant called Incognito that served pizza and only pizza, safe to say that it really was amazing and that wasn't just because I was starving. Everyone we went with got their own personal pizzas, and I’m almost positive that everyone finished them.
The second day was our first full day in the city and also the first day that we met the environmental engineers from the Italian University in Cagliari, we all awkwardly introduced ourselves (since we can’t speak any Italian and they spoke very little English), but were eventually able to figure out ways to converse! After a few lectures from the professors, both Italian ones (Prof. Aldo Muntoni, Prof. Raffaello Cossu) and our Professor (Annalisa), we went out to a 13 course dinner at "l'antica Cagliari". Yes. That’s right, I did mean to say 13 courses, and it was absolutely amazing.
The third day we had free time in the morning and then were invited to Professor Cossu’s home by the beach for a cookout. The house was located on a hill overlooking the ocean and was beautiful. The food was even more amazing but the people and atmosphere had to be the best part. Oh and I swam in the Mediterranean Sea for the first time. It was perfect, and just a little cold.
Today we went on a trip to some of the islands oldest historic sites called nuragic complexes and then went exploring for wild Italian horses! So it was basically another wild day in Sardinia!
