If you could use three words describe how you started off your day this morning, what three words would you choose? Let me tell you how I started off my day today: Liquor, Coffee, Beach…and in that order! Well, not exactly…let me explain.
Staying in Trapani
last four years, we have a fair amount of expertise on eating at the (coffee) bar for breakfast…the only problem was to find a bar (a good bar) to eat. Some years ago, an Italian friend of mine told me that if you want the best caffé (espresso) in Italy Trapani
I had a Baba (a rum soaked yeast risen cake). I chose the whipped cream topped confection (instead of the white cream pudding type), then to wash it down a Crema Caffé (sometimes written Caffé Creama) –an espresso infused whipped cream drink…the Italians really know how to eat…where else could I get liquor and coffee in the morning and not a soul bat an eyelash?
We sat at the counter adjacent to where we ordered, and noticed the most curious thing…a window with a waiter retrieving items from the bar. On the other side of the window was the tearoom…from which emanated the most mouthwatering scents. After breakfast we took a glance into the tearoom, which revealed the most charming setting…while ‘breakfast included’ can give you a hassle free place to eat (sometimes), these quaint, unexpected, out-of-the-ordinary and occasionally out-of-the-way places can give you an unforgettable experience.
Next stop, the beach. You can’t get bikini-body-ready (and stay that way) without putting the time into it. I only own one pair of exercise shoes, and don’t make a habit of carrying them on vacation (they take up too much room in my shoes suitcase), but I do love to walk, and along the lungomare –seafront promenade, was a great place to go.
