A week has been passed and I feel like I have been in Italy forever! This trip is one of those once in a lifetime experiences and I am enjoying it with all my senses.
You have no idea how much I have seen already. We move along from region to region, eat like kings and queens, and sightsee. I literally feel like I'm in heaven. But the FOOD. And WINE. I am eating and drinking the best things Italy offers.
Alright, lets start from the Veneto region...As you may now, Venice is a world for itself. I felt like I was in a fairytale!
Here are some of my favorite snapshots - I took about 300 photos only in Venice, so it was hard to select just a few.
I do my best to try the famous pastries of each region I visit, so here are a few from Venice:
Tiramisu, of course, which was fantastic.
Different types of Zaetti - soft, kind of chewy pastries on the right, with different variations. On the left hand side are these swirl pastries filled with either almond paste and raisins or chocolate and cream.
Among other traditional pastries was ''Pan dei vini'' and ''Pincia''.
And this is just a usual selection of various sweet and savory baked goods.
There was my little review of Venice, next post will be of Modena - Parmigiano Reggiano and Aceto Balsamico! ;)
