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

Oristano
This is Nora. It has ruins of an ancient civilization starting with the Phoenecians (B.C.!)I think.
In the first pic you see the lighthouse. In the second pic is the road, this one is a little hammered but WOW! amazin'.



The nest is the colosseum with the floors and pots. The pots had metal inside them to reinforce them. Cool to see. The next is the mosaic floor and remnants of pillars for the temple (I think).
It ia amazing how the floors have lasted hundreds/thousands of years!
This last pic is a public potty. You can see the remains of 3 on one side and one on the other. Yeah, EEW!
I have many more pics of Nora but I wont bore you...I'll wait till we get home. Heehee;)

Things that make us laugh
This first pic is funny because the sign says "No Parking".
The second pic is of a little door in the crack-this one you may have needed to be here.

"Original Marines" is that like Old Navy?


Me pointing at the back driver side of the engine-This is funny because we have driven about 86 clicks from our hotel. As we were driving I had commented to Mathew how the freeway was strange because it has this "yeow!" "yeow!" noise sorta like when you cross the street in downtown SLC by the temple. Mats solution was to turn up the radio.
As we slowed into the town of Oraistano that noise was louder. I said "that sounds like a cat! Pull over!" I jumped out and Mat opened the hood-It looked like a clean engine and then the noise started again and there was a little cream and yellow kitten tucked down safely in the wheel well of the car.
He didn't want to come out-I thought he was stuck and I found Eiras hat to put my hand in there and try to get him out. We couldn't get him out but we started hitting the wheel well on the outside and he was quite eager to get out.
He was still yeowing about what happened to him when he got out. I kept trying to get a pic of him but he kept running away from me so in the last photo he is under the bush. That was the best I could take-I'll bet he is still yeowing! Mat calls this picture "Kittensquach" because its like the Sasquatch picture.
Mathew and I had a good laugh and would yeow at each other on our hike.

Hmmm, this was on the front of the tower-I think its an elephant....or is it a pig with a long tongue? I just don't know, wadda you think?
The pic with the tree is the colosseum from a long long time ago, I for get when.
The next is a fun little street. The bottoms of the buildings are very old-some even looked like the intrances were carved form rock.
