Today Adam and I had the boys day out. In the morning, we checked out an open-air market selling lots of produce in Milan. The produce was really varied and interesting. There was zucchini that had a string-like shape. And the Italians eat zucchini flowers! Melons were different too. There were other leafy greens that were native to Italy. There were also fresh seafood stands stocked with anchovies, mackerels, perch, bass, octopi, squid, eel, tillapia, prawns, shrimp, etc. I really loved that market. And nearby was a Sri Lankan restaurant--you should check it out Srimal!
We walked around Milan for a while. Adam was posing in his new blue Nikes that he got yesterday. No I'm kidding, but everyone in Milan dressed really well. I couldn't help but feel underdressed as a tourist. It was really cool to see the architecture in Italy. There are differences between the architectural styles in England, France, and Italy, although the French and Italian buildings were similar.
We met up with Adam's friend AJ for lunch at a Chinese restaurant. AJ was an American studying in Milan. Really cool guy. After lunch we walked to the hotel Brett was staying at and picked him up. We then drove home and stopped for groceries on the way. Man oh man, driving in Italy is an adventure. People don't shoulder check. A couple of times we almost got run off the freeway.
Heather made this killer tiramisu and we had it for dessert. It was absolutely delicious and it was her first attempt! Adam insisted that this would be the first of many times. I feel so special to have partaken in Heather's successful premier endeavour. Such an awesome way of capping the night.
