A Busy Day

I had the opportunity to go to Rome for a meeting this week.

My coworker and I arrived Thursday night. Just in time for dinner.

Since we had health screenings* at work this week, we made responsible dietary choices.

Like these fruttini...which are tiny fruits and nuts stuffed with ice cream versions of themselves.

And an after-dinner cookie stop at a baker/butcher/cheesemonger/wineperson. The legs of ham were just a hair too big to fit under the seat on the ride home, otherwise...

The next morning we headed out early to catch a quick glimpse of the city before our meeting.

After knocking back a few espressos, we had just enough time to spend 5 minutes gaping at the magnificence of the Pantheon.

And then meetings, meetings, meetings,

Followed by a mad dash to the airport, a quick flight back over the mountains and home in time for dinner.

*"Apparently," there is a serving size for cheese??????...what witchcraft is this?????
