It has been my travel dream for some time now to go to Italy. My grandparents on my dad's side of the family immigrated from Italy and I have always wondered what it was like. I haven't been fortunate enough to take a vacation out of the country yet, so it would also be a great way for me to see something different. While I am there I would definitely like to see as much of the country as I can, but more importantly I want to taste as much of the country as I can. I have always imagined how amazing the pasta and pizza in Italy is, and this would be my chance to find out. I would travel around to the different cities of Italy and see how the local food variety changes. A lot of the different regions in Italy have their own unique tastes and flavor. Also, after experiencing all the food and flavors for myself, I would be able to cook a mean pasta sauce. As I am traveling through the different cities I would want to make a few stops along the way. Some of the places I really want to see are the Colosseum, Venice, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Using all the brute strength gained from all the amazing Italian food, I would push the leaning tower back up. Italy would be upset with me though, if the tower wasn't leaning it wouldn't attract nearly as many tourists. Overall I wouldn't want the trip to last longer than a month. Vacations are fun, but eventually I would want to be back home so I could share my adventures with my friends and family. My grandmother on my dads side would be very interested in some of the italian recipes I will have learned considering she is such a great italian cook already.
I imagine eating Italian food in Italy all the time. I hope you get to go there!
ReplyDeleteI have not bean outside of the US as well, and I look forward to doing so at some point in time. I think seeing the archatecture and eating the food would be unparellel.
ReplyDeleteIf the tower wasn't leaning any more what would we call it? "The No-longer Leaning Tower of Pisa"?
ReplyDeleteI think it's really cool that different regions have their own unique flavors. It would be a lot of fun traveling around and trying food from all the regions, then deciding which is the best. I also find your proposal to re-align the Leaning Tower of Pisa very interesting. A bit ambitious, yes. But with the right amount of perfectly cooked pasta, I'm sure anything is possible. And who knows, maybe YOU will become the tourist attraction.
