• We asked the waiter if the Pineapples in the dessert were grown in Italy. He proudly replied, "We grow everything in Italy! But these particular ones are imported from Brazil."

Trevi Fountain
One of the few gaps in the crowd at Trevi Fountain. We had to wait a few minutes for the opportunity to take a happy snap.

Amercian B'Fast
Not bad for EU$6.

Dolce
This warm chocolate fondant was a fantastic way to finish dinner at Target. Shared by the three of us - it was all gone too quick.

Via Nazionale
View down the street past the hotel after dinner. Isn't that pretty?
