An evening in Rome

Tonight we did a cooking class! We made fettuccine and tiramisu. What a fun class - it normally has 15 participants, but there were only 7 of us, which was great! Besides Rod and I, there were 2 from Amsterdam, and a mom and her 2 daughters from England. Our chef's name was Jo - she was born in the Philippines but has been in Italy just about her entire life. Her English was very good. The class was at a restaurant, Trattoria Amici, which is located near the Spanish Steps. We first made the tiramisu as it has to chill for about an hour. Once that was done, we started on the fettuccine. Mixing the egg and flour, then kneading and then slicing. Once done, we were treated to dinner with the fettuccine and tiramisu - and a glass of wine. Dinner was friendly with talking from everyone about their travels. After dinner, we then walked to the Spanish Steps to see them at night. Our walk back to the hotel was....interesting. we ended up walking in the wrong direction (thanks, Google Map) but managed to find our way back...with a few extra steps! Today, we walked around a little over 10 miles (including this morning). It took us about 25 minutes to get to the restaurant, but an hour + to get back!Meer informatie
