Trip To ITALY

Daniel and I went on our very own private trip to Italy. I surprised Daniel with 2 tickets a month ago to fly to Rome Italy. We arrived and we went straight to the world's famous Cafe "Cassidy's Cafe" it's known for its eloquence and beautiful scenery and of course it's Top class menu. This isn't your any type of Cafe, we arrived and immediately went straight to work. We were given a slab of dough and told to roll it out into one big circle. Once done we were given a variety of ingredients... a homemade delicious pizza sauce, green peppers, onions, black olives, tomatos, pepporoni's, mozzerella cheese, parmesan cheese. We spread the sauce on half of the dough and sprinkled our desired ingredients on top. Next we folded over the non-food side and pinched the sides together making two Enormous Calzones. When they came out of the oven I could not believe my eyes, it was as if someone had put steroids inside them. ( I have pictures to attest). Along with our Calzones we had the most delicious breadsticks, they had bit of sweet taste to them. We were also treated with the most excellent drink in town, Sparkling Cider. It was candlit dinner with a beautiful orchestra playing in the background. Once dinner was over we had to make a quick stop at a local store to buy a few essentials for our next activity. We stopped and got some free icecream (Birthday coupon). Since we were in Italy we wanted to take part of all the things Italy is most famous for. With Michelangelo in the mist we decided to paint self portraits of one another with cheap water color and acrylic paints (some colors were already dried up that's how cheap they were). It was fun to see each other's masterpieces. The final activity of the night was we caught a night showing under the stars on the most comfy lounge chairs and watched Italian Job. Italy we will miss you.
