Team Italy 2010

Tuesday, May 11, 2010

The team took a bus tour around Rome. Got to swing by the Coliseum.














Team members from Rotaract took us out for gelato. Rotaract is a group of younger Rotarians in Italy. They were still very professional!!! This place is one of the best in Rome, but most groups that take us for gelato have thier own "best place for gelato" in Rome.
Another club took us out for a great dinner in the Pizzia de Spagna. (close to the Spanish Steps) toranteThe restaurant was called Ristorante alla Rampa. We were given strict lessons on how to properly eat Bucatini (type of pasta). Don't mix the Bucatini with othe pasta! Twist the fork with your hand and open wide!! They also had great artichokes!! (Lauren, I did try and fried artichoke last night!!)


Lauren is living in Rome, but grew up in Oklahoma. Eugenio and Pialo are also in the picture. Bose and Lucciana were the silly ones, mostly talking about shoes and shopping. A great group of professional Rotarians in Italy. Thank you so much for a wonderful time in Rome!!
Most of us are now Facebook friends!!
