Sorry, I've been away for a few days from the blog. I appreciate everyone's responses to what so far has been a great trip. I've got lots of things to write in the next few hours and now that the Olympics are officially over, the next part of the World of Wonder tour can begin.
First off, Dad, the difference between a ristorante and a trattoria is this ... while both places are great for eating, the difference is mostly the atmosphere. The ristorante is many times a place to spend more money, but there's a lot more choices for the customer. It's got pizza too, but it is a place you're likely to have more diverse choices for great food and beverages. At a trattoria, these are smaller, more down to earth places where the menu is still diverse, but still somewhat limited. Usually these are the places run by mom and dad and the kids helping too. Giusi knows about a lot of these types of places and every time I not only tried something new to eat, but it was just as good and we were not rushed at all (not that Italians rush to leave the dinner table ... ever!).
Secondly, sorbetto limone is now my favorite dessert. Marie, I will gladly take you up on the chance to go have some soon after I return from my trip.
Jerre: Thanks for the suggestion. I will check it out. Oh, and I forgot one other song the cheesy, but fun, band played ... Hit Me Baby One More Time. Ugh.
Chris and Jeff: Thanks for checking in. You have Olympic T-shirts coming soon.
To everyone: I've got stories coming on the bronze medal game Saturday night, a Sunday celebration that makes orange juice something I'll never think about drinking again and more on what my next moves are for the post-Olympics trip.
Gotta go write!
P.S. Annie, if you are reading this, Happy Birthday today! And Mom, when you read this, I am also thinking of Grandma as her birthday is on Tuesday. Santa Maria!
