last day in Italy
Brindisi, Italy
plus a last minute mad dash to the post office to buy stamps
(and doubleparking both vans to do so)
and
winding through narrow rutted lanes
and
trying to find an open pizzeria before 7pm (impossible)
and
seeing two herds of goats
and
driving past another burnoff
and
ducking as a plane landed almost on top of us
and
playing Carcassonne and cards
and
preparing Greece journals
and
and
and
We’ve been to Italy, but we missed Venice, Milan and FLorence, we couldn’t get a park in Sorrento and only did one street in Naples….you could say we missed most of Italy!
But, contrary to what the frogs would have had us believe, we found great food.
long pasta, short pasta,
fat pasta, thin pasta
SPIRALLED SPAGHETTI
long tubes, short tubes,
big rings, little rings
CANNELONNI
star shapes, gnocchi shapes,
spirals, wheels and bow shapes
TUBE SPAGHETTI
OK, so the Froggy accusation was that they have nothing beyond pasta.
But we discovered they have cheese.
white cheese
yellow cheese
grated cheese
fried cheese
hung cheese
holey cheese
gorgonzola
mozarella
ricotta
mascarpone
and don’t forget
scamorza
