My Adventures Outside of Aviano and such....

I'm so very sorry I haven't posted in over a week now.  The internet has been down quite frequently and I've been doing a lot as well.  Last week consisted of lots of dinners and such.  There was nothing too amazing going on.  I went to the chinese place which is called Take Away and it's just like Pagoda at home but 10 times better.  I also had an American Cheeseburger from a restaurant.   The cheeseburger was awesome and when it came out it had an American Flag sticking out of it which I thought was quite comical.  The guy that owns the place commented on my coat.. you the brown black and cream colored one I wear all the time.  He said it looked like something Queen Elizabeth wears.  That turned into a 10 min. conversation about how I had the features to look ritzie and could pull it off.  The guy was American from Detroit, interesting guy but I was flattered nonetheless.  I had some of the most amazing desserts this past week as well.  OMG...Italian desserts are to die for!!!  Here is exhibit A:




                                                           A whole menu for various teas... hmm..
This menu is all chocolate.. you pick your chocolate and they turn it into hot chocolate.. really really rich!!!!!
 This what a typical coffee bar looks like...  FYI if you stand at the bar and drink your coffee or wine you it cost much less than getting a table.
The irrestible "Crazy Sundae"!!!! Oh my......... is all you can say about that!


The Weekend
The weekend was quite interesting as well.  Friday we went to a pool hall in Pordenone.  It had tons of arcade games, pool tables, and all jazz.  That was good fun!  Then we went for toast and coffee (which is the Italian Waffle house bit).  Toast is a grilled ham and cheese sandwich and it is delicious!!!  The coffee is macchiato cappuccino. It's the best coffee ever!!!!!
Saturday we left early to go to Montebelluno, which we thought was near Belluno.
There were some detours and they took my advice on directions (b/c I've been here so long) and we
ended up going to Belluno which is almost in Austria! I was so hoping we would go into Austria, but
you have to have like a road tax something or other and we didn't have it. But, the scenery was AMAZING!!
We were in the huge mountains and it was just beautiful! I was so very glad we went an hour and half out of
our way! I took some pics.. of the view.. but they were as we were driving so they aren't the best.
