2009 06 15 Let's Eat!!














We decided that today was going to be a leisure day - sleeping late and easing into the day with a quiet breakfast. Then it was time for a bit of TV (we only get 2 English channels: BBC - which we really can't stand and CNN - which we can really only take in small doses - the same news loop over and over and over). Before long it was time to eat again so we opted for lunch at La Brace Pizzeria across the street from our hotel.

The atmosphere and the pizza was fantastic - no, it was perfect. A lovely view of the coast and a nice breeze drifting across our table by the window. It will be difficult to enjoy pizza back home again. The dough for the crust was prepared fresh and baked in a wood burning oven. Texture and flavor were incredible. Crispy and chewy - what a combination. Fresh tomatoes, fresh cheese, fresh basil. Ymmmmmmmm. Everything baked in those ovens has a delicious flavor - and it's the only kind of oven they use here. I want one.....
