My trip to Italy was amazing.  I took over 800 photos.  I promise to only share some of my favorites.  Going to Italy was on my "bucket list" and now I need to add it again because I want to go back!!  I can't mention Italy without sharing some information about the food.  Here were some of my favorites:

Pizza of course! (and lots of it)

A sicilian delicacy called "arancini" which is meat, cheese and rice, breaded and deep fried!

"Octopus" (which I actually liked)

The ever popular "cannoli"

and Gelato (which I ate every day if not twice a day)

There were so many tasty and beautiful "dolce" (sweets)

and I finally got accustomed to the super strong "espresso"

I have to admit my favorite thing of all was the "cassata" which is marzipan filled with ricotta cheese - heaven!!

I know that being an interior designer you would have expected me to share all my photos of the beautiful art and architecture first before I shared photos of food, but quite honestly, the food was equally as exciting and memorable!!  Stay tuned for Part 2.
