After getting mostly settled and a long night's rest, it was time to get our day started (around noon...). Sheley and I ventured our way into town, and our first stop: the atm. We found a bank which seemed the least intimidating and made our way in. Both of us easily got out some Swiss Francs, and it was then time to find our lunch location. After walking around and looking at lots of different menus, we chose Argentino's (mostly because a nice server came out and spoke to us in English). We ordered bottled water (rookie mistake) and each got a pizza... DELICIOUS. We both (of course) ate everything they served to us, and then it was time to make our first grocery store run. We ran into some of our other groups members on the way, who helped us find the grocery store, which for Sheley and I, was the easy part. We first went to the second floor of the store and found all the beauty products and purchased what we needed, but finding the food section was (for some odd reason) a struggle for both of us. We took every elevator and escalator we could find, until finally after nearly thirty minutes of wandering, we found it.
In the grocery store, it was quite overwhelming not being able to read any labels, but we made it through pretty successfully (minus me grabbing the squeakiest cart possible). We then took our walk back to the Montarina and unpacked all our things. For the rest of the evening, we just stayed at the hostile getting to know everyone and eating dinner from the items we bought. That evening we decided to try out our first bar in Lugano: Coyote Ugly, We all went as smaller groups, but the entire study abroad group ended up at the bar during the night. We all had a blast dancing together, and with some locals, until we headed in to get some sleep for our hike the next morning.
