hot getting hotter

It was hot today...I was sweating hard from my ride home. We are not that high in Florence and it is fairly humid. Makes for moist riding.

The law school/university we are having classes at now is quite interesting. It is fairly new construction, which does not explain the decision to have only two outlets, each with only one plug, in a room designed to seat >60 people. Further, the climate control is centralized (I was told) such that one thermostat controls the entire building as opposed to just one room.

As for the classes, we did not discuss any of the readings in comparative law. In environmental law, the professor read notes to us for two hours. She also read us, three times, a large paragraph regarding the single most important rule of international environmental law. I asked her if she might email this important rule of law to the entire class, as it was not part of our readings. She thought that was a wonderful idea.

My ride home included two things. One, I think I rode through either A. the neighborhood where the women are REALLY friendly or B. the neighborhood where the women are business persons and two, I had a women hoot at me as I rode by her on my bike, as she was waiting for a green light in her car. A green street light that is.

The weather was hot. Did I mention that? I also ran out of wine today. Too bad, I am in Tuscany. Better buy another bottle.

In other news, the butcher was very impressed with my improved Italian language skills, as I ordered all of my food products in italian. He gave me a couple of bravos.
