Food - Wednesday

Today all of us began our day with an Italian buffet breakfast provided by the hotel. Some of the popular foods were the runny eggs, the croissants, the Italian breakfast sausage, and of course all of the different types of coffee!! Everyone ate lunch during their free time today. Most people went to pizzerias around Vatican City, and we were told it was the best pizza ever and we concur. Nothing beats a fresh slice of margarita pizza from Italy! Gelato has been a favorite of everyone. Some of the coolest and most unique flavors we've seen are "cookies", "smurf", and "carmel." The gelato is delicious, and we see no reason why people shouldn't eat two or three a day! For dinner we ate at a restaurant in Roma. Meals here are much longer than in America, and there are multiple courses for every meal. At dinner, we began with healthy servings of pasta with Parmesan cheese, bacon, and butter. Everyone was asking for seconds of the pasta! After that, roast beef and salad were served, and then after that came the ice-cake desert. Ice cake is similar to ice cream cake, but this cake is flavored with some type of coffee or cappuccino. The food keeps getting better and better, and we know one thing for sure... it definitely beats airline food!

P.S. : There are these nifty water fountains in every bathroom, but they put them so low to the ground. What's up with that?!
