An almost all-nighter



Thursday time was running out for the presentation for San Daniele ham. Having worked together for a few days the group was in good shape and we had a very productive day. At around 7 Flavio and Carlos (from Florida) went off to play footy, and the rest of us carried on with the slides.
By 930 though, we were hungry, and it was time to join the others down at Lowenbrau, a pizza and beer restaurant on the waterfront near Piazza Unita.
The guys were celebrating - as team MBA XVII (plus Brazilian ringer in the form of Carlos, who scored 3 goals) beat the others - a combination of Masters in Insurance and Risk Management and Masters in Tourism and Leisure - by 8 goals to 3.
So we ate a celebratory pizza, washed down by beer and wine.
There is a saying that it isn't over 'til the fat lady sings. But here in Italy no meal is really over until we've drunk the limoncello ...
So having waited for the limoncello, it was nearly midnight when we headed back to the hotel... meaning we didn't finish the work on the presentation til nearly 3am - like university days!
