Here is the kitchen and bath in our B&B. Some how I have misplaced the pic of the bedroom. It was so pretty, It was dome in orange and yellow with a little bit of green accents. Bummer I cant find the photo.






The view from our first B&B window

Our first B&B


We were on right across the street from the ocean. This was such a romantic B&B. We were surrounded by vineyards














Here is a bit of scenery on our way to Sassari.
The water was so pretty it just didn't photograph as pretty.
The cloudy little town was up in the moutains, it was raining on us but snowing on the moutain.
It was such a sweet little town. On our way out we were stopped bu a HUGE heard of cattle. I wish I had snapped a pic to show you.

















This is our rental car. The Lancia Delta.

??

When this came out Mathew asked
"Who pooped on your plate?"
This dish was ok-not my favorite though.
It looked too much like eggs-Blegh!
It is potato dumplings-they were good, the sauce was such an unappetizing color.

I like the food here but, sometimes you just want Chinese.

Whoops! I don't know why I put that first one here. It was a cute resturant-Its called Bacco.
The second pic is some shrimp dish. Mathew really liked it except he kept chomping down on the little legs that came off within the noodles-Sorry Angie, shoulda warned you.

Mathew and Eira along with our dinner. Mathew had pesto and I had....well, I don't really know-but it was fantastic!
Then we have a panini, I am not sure if thats spelled right.
But it is a large hard roll with meat and sometimes cheese. No, they don't grill them here, that just an American thing.
The outside of the roll is so crumby that when you are done eating you have to stand up and de-crumb yourself. But it is sooo worth it! The salami is soooo good! They also have a turkey that has a pastrami flavor and smells YUM!!!
I have discovered I do not like Prosciutto-BLEGH! Mathew likes it though.


Pizza anyone? The dough here is more salty where in America it is sweet. Here it is also rolled out very thin. Matt calles it a cracker-its not.
Dave (across from Matt) had Frutti de Mare
Sounds pretty, looks pretty but what that translates to is "Fruit of the sea" there were little squids on it (Agin sorry Angie.)
Ryan (next to Dave) had the Americano. It had Hotdogs & French fries on it! Heehee
Matt and I had a more traditional pizza? It had grilled red and yellow peppers, egg plant & salami.
Our very first pizza here we just picked one off the menu that is written in italian. When we got it it looked good, it had a salami, whole black olives, little white pearl onions, hotdogs (weird, but ok) And (CLOSE YOUR EYES ANGIE!) TUNA! TUNA? ON PIZZA?
Turns out tonno is tuna in italian. AAW, it was a fun eating adventure, and I learned two things
1)I don't like tuna on pizza 2)Tunno is engraved in my mind and I now understand what it is and know to avoid it.

THARROS

This is Tharros. It is also a place with ancient ruins. The first picture shows the path we are going to walk up, and it IS up! Behind us is the ruins, you'll see them in the 3RD picture.
Just showing the pretty water along our hike-the picts just dont show how beautiful the water is. The third pic is taken midway down the big hill that you see in the distance of the first pic.
Can you see the pillars? I think they were from 200-400 A.D. Also can you see the old road they have uncovered-so neat to see.
The big round thing is/was a monistary.
The next pic is of a "New" lighthouse, it is probably 100 years old. At this point we are at the top and on to thr otherside of the hill.



LOOK! what we came across!!
GOATS! Can you see their neato horns?
