Eating the Boot: A Grand Tour of Italy

[tupac17616]

It's taken me a while to sift through all the photos from my vacation, but I've finally managed to at least get a few posted HERE. Enjoy!

a recent joke made by a friend of mine prompted me to find out some numbers, out of curiosity:

63 days in Italy

45 different gelaterie

101 scoops gelato

7 cups of granita

technically, it's not like I had gelato every day!

HAHA !! Next question, how many complete pies (not slices) of pizza?

Only 17.

Oh, and depending on how loosely you define pizza: 15 pieces of foccacia, 1 wedge of torta pasquale, 3 gnocchi fritti con lardo e crudo, 2 piadine with salumi and cheese, and a sort of thicker bread studded with chunks of prosciutto and cheese.

Oh, and not to worry, there will be pictures.  Lots and lots of pictures, no doubt.

Just in case anyone happens to stumble upon this thread in a search later on, I figured I should actually provide some of the pictures I promised in the beginning!

Several reviews (and plenty of pictures) from my trip to Italy can now be found on my site.

And more should be forthcoming the near future.
