Bowling in Italy

Today was very relaxed. We wandered a bit looking at churches near the apartment, then hung out. Around 6 Fabio and Adrian came for us and we went bowling, below is Fabio throwing a Spare. The crazy thing is it was a Brunswick Alley! Also the balls are in pounds even though they do kilograms. After bowling we went back to their place and Mom made french toast which was tummy. We enjoyed conversation including a debate about whether or not Astronauts really went to the moon and their planned trip to the US this summer. Finally it got late and they dropped us back.

We're all packed up and ready to go for our flights tomorrow. I think we're sad to go because it's been so much fun, but we're tired and miss our hubbies.

Dinner conclusion

Dinner was amazing. We were too full for french toast so tomorrow we will do that and maybe bowling! :) it was a fun night.

Pasta by scratch

We are at Fabios with Internet so I uploaded more pictures to Flickr. This one is of Adrian making us pasta for dinner right now, I'm starving, we'll let you know how it turns out.

Later we will make French Toast for desert.

Dinner without Decisions

Last night we were picked up by Fabio in a borrowed car (that's a story for later). He had Adrian with him and we all four went to dinner outside of Rome. It was fantastic to see them again we always have fun and laugh a lot.

This time Fabio chose a place in a village north of Rome in Sacrofano. The restaurant was Al Grottino, it was quaint and quirky. You sit and there is no waiter with questions, they just bring food to the table, and they keep it coming through the whole meal. They made a few exceptions for me being vegetariana, especially with beef, there was a lot of wild boar instead. Our favorites were the fried zuccini with mozzarella, ravioli filled with lemon ricotta, roasted rosemary potatoes, salami, sausage and biscotti.

At desert we had sweet wine on top of the dinner wine so Mom was already loosey goosey. To top it off we got Mom her first taste of limoncello. It was a great dinner, though we gave no idea how pricey because Fabio generously snuck away and settled the bill (thank you).

They drove us back to the apartment after some sweet talking to get us back into the historic center. We parted ways at 1am with discussions of a French Toast dinner at Fabios before we leave town.
