The food!

If you are even remotely aquatinted with me, you'll know that I love two things with a passion:

1.) trying new things

2.) food

If you have the slightest idea of the two things that Italians love it's these:

1.) talking 

2.) food 

It seems as though we're off to a fairly mutual start. 

If we pass by anywhere that sells any type of food, Vittoria just says: 

"You'll try all of that." 

And I reply: 

"Okay." 

I have tried so many different types of food, and yet haven't even scratched the surface of what I have been told to try. 

 The pizza is, of course, delicious. 

It's so different from American pizza. 

So much better. 

This is typical Sicilian barbecue. 

Fresh calamari. The smell is so amazing when it's cooking. Also a very delicious plate. 

 

Here is a closer look. The taste is great, but it was somewhat difficult to get over the texture of the tentacle. 

I got over it. 

The only thing I haven't been able to eat is the muscles. 

I did try them, but it was no use. I'm not destined to eat muscles. 

The water melon is the same as it is in America. 

I still love it. 

This is a Sicilian soda, I can't decide if I like it or not. 

It tastes good at first, but then bitter, then good, then bitter again. I'm still taking a sip every now and then to test my opinion. 

After our week at the beach we spent 2 days at the town house. Even when we were at the town house we spent both days with friends at the beach. 

Again, how can I complain?!

Now we are spending a week in the mountains! 

I'll keep you updated with more pictures and stories!
