Our Thanksgiving feast :)

Hope you all had a delicious and grateful Thanksgiving. We had our Italian dinner all planned out, and stopped at a restaurant earlier to get something to drink and kill time before eating. Our server, probably a Bostonian (he reminded us either of a young Billy Crystal or Tony Danza), informed us that they had a Thanksgiving dinner available and that the turkey was already in the oven, ready to go. Well... we debated about it for a few minutes, because we were pretty stoked about having a big Italian meal, when he suggested we share one plate. Done. So we got our fair share of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberries, veggies and gravy! And about an hour later, we started our own feast. To start, we got bruschetta, Roman artichokes (we tried those the day before and they were incredible) and caprese salad. Then we all had some sort of a creamy tortellini. And then we all had roast lamb. Plus we got gelato later, on our way home. It was definitely a feast, and we were all very stuffed from it!

Rome was a bit exhausting because of all the sites - saw the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, Colliseum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, and other buildings and things all over - but it's definitely cool to just be walking through the city and come across some Roman ruins!
