Today we went to the street market to attempt at bargaining. With the help of Dr. Marciano, we were able to save a few dollars!
Afterward, we went to see another beautiful church, then the crew headed out to find some lunch (and we had a scavenger hunt along the way). We had to take selfies with certain landmarks. Needless to say... I look very egocentric in my phone gallery haha.
Following that, we did a bit more browsing before meeting Ms. Elena, who is a local educator that has been pen paling it up with Dr. M. She was so sweet and very informative!
She ended up taking us to Castello di Sarre. This was the previous home to Queen Margherita and Umberto. I learned that the pizza was named after this royal lady, and the pizza components resemble the Italian flag (tomato red sauce, white mozzarella cheese, and green basil). There is much more history to this castle, so feel free to look it up ;) Oh, and I snapped some amazing pics!
When we left, we were home about an hour and headed out to dinner. I finally had some pasta at a very good restaurant. We dined and chatted then made our way back home. Tonight's blog is fairly short because it has been such a long day... so ciao for now and until tomorrow!
Benvenuto al Italia!
