Just Some Pictures from things I’ve done recently :-)

There was a Chocolate Festival in Piazza Santa Croce for the past week and a half. I went a few times and bought some truffles and these amazing chocolate spoons for your coffee! BUT the best part (or so I think) was this Focaccia. It was INCREDIBLE! I tried only a few different kinds, but there was one with pesto and cheese and one with onion and they were so delicious!!!! 

The chocolates were tasty as well :p They were beautiful and some were so creative. Chocolate tools, food, flowers, accessories….even a chocolate Moka Express with cups! There was one booth that had a Chocolate Kebap. They would shave it off (like you typically would do with the meat) and put it in this sweet roll… it was funny. 

There were plenty of ‘chocolate covered fruit’ and hot chocolate booths. Deliciousness all around! :D  

There was also a food fair set up in Piazza Reppublica. An abundance of cheese, meat, honey, wine and truffles! I didn’t buy anything…. But we had samples of all of them. TASTY! I forgot how much I really love Pecorino cheese until I came back here! (Pecorino comes from the word 'pecora' which means 'sheep'. So yes... it is made from sheeps' milk - Mom... that means you can eat it!) Pecorino and honey sandwiches are amazing! :D

Every night at around 530pm there are thousands of birds that come flying around! Here is a picture… you can’t really tell, but it’s the big black spotted cloud looking thing….

 

There were so many that I couldn’t fit it into one picture. They swarm around in waves and lines… it’s so cool! And when they fly towards you and above you it sounds exactly like the brushing of wind through the leaves of a tree…. Very cool and calming!

I finally got a comforter (extremely bright but oh-so-warm!) which made sleeping a little more pleasant… and possible, and I was able to buy a Moka Express (also bright….but it does the trick). So now I have my bed (still would like to get some more comfortable sheets) with my bright comforter and Costa Rica Tapestry (doesn’t quite match, but that’s ok) and I’m working on my wall and shelf (I need to get some more pictures printed off!)

Ok... well this is getting extremely long and probably less and less interesting to those reading... so I'm done for now :)
