Night on the town in Naples...
We met Alessandra's friends at a fabulous restaurant - Bannera. We were invited into the kitchen to get a few pointers from the onwer and chef Celeste! Marissa had her first encounter eating mussels and the best tuna steak of her life. Tai also gave Marissa a lesson in eating both prawns and mussels. Another delectable night in Italy...and we got to ride home on scooters!
Our Day in Naples...
Castles, Gelato and Skype(Marissa with her mom)...and we didfind this wonderful jeweler, Gioielleria Contatore, near our apartment where we did purchase a few little babbles.
A Night Out in Trastevere
We spent the evening with Alessandra walking the cobblestone streets. Dining inTrastevere as Italy was playing their first round in the World Cup -- televisions flags were everywhere! And the cooks weren't making anything on the menu that kept them in the kitchen. After dinner we walked by the river that was lined with bars, restaurants, and little shops. After all the good wine and apertifs we were a little tipsy...and ended the night with a "fruit munchie." Our only problem here was there seemed to be no place to wear a bikini...
Colors & Flavors...
We found all of our favorite things in Rome...Our "chocolate a day" is turning in to a "gelato a day"!
Amazing Bed & Breakfast...
We arrived in Rome and thanks to Tai's dear friend Alessandra Amati, stayed at Nina's Guest House.It was located in Trastevere-- one of Rome's most quaint neighborhoods. The place was gorgeous and felt like home -- only there was no "inn keeper." It would have been perfect if there had been someone there to host us and guide us around. But we LOVED it!!! Charming...
A "Bracelet-a-Place"
As Tai & Marissa travel, they have decided to collect a bracelet from each place they visit. The collection so far!
We Found Frappuccinos!
We actually found the only frappuccino in Cannes at the Sun Ice Cafe that just happened to have the cutest French barista too!
Strolling Around Town...
mostly window shopping since there was little else to do. But there were a few souvenir shops open and Marissa found the perfect gift for her sister Shelby.
