>>Tre Mieli

(place setting)

(antipasto-two different fried cheese dishes)

(desert-gelato with hand rolled cone)
(surrounded by wine bottles)

Cio!Last night was perhaps the best meal I have ever enjoyed. Sorry to all the cooks at home, but you can't compete with fried cheeses, hand made pasta with pesto, perfectly grilled (local) fish, in house made gelato, and the local favorite white wine! Four hours later, I understand why Italians are so friendly-they enjoy their food. The restauraunt "tre il mieli"(three crows) is located on the port of Genova with breathtaking interior design which included beautiful place settings and walls of amber wine bottles. Nothing ends a tough week of school quite like and amazing dinner. Today was a usual school day, we finished classes before lunch but had our last Italian lesson until four. From now on, we should have more free time since our 2 hour, twice a day Italian lesssons are over. Tomorrow I will return to Milan to try to capitilize upon the "saldi" a major sale in January(and april where everything is on sale) most things have been ranging from30-75% off-worth the trip to find a uniquely Italian fashion for a fraction of the cost! Tonight I will return to the Piazza to meet up with our Italian friends and enjoy the beautiful Genovese weather a perfectly comfortable meditteranean night. Buona Nota
