The next day, conference, conference, conference…
I said good-byes and headed back to the hotel for a nap. It
was a long day. I slept later than I wanted, and sprung into action to try to
get dinner before places closed. The bar I ended up at first had just stopped
serving food, but they sent me to a nice pizza place down the street.
Adria
Ristorante was just what I needed. My German is bad enough that the person got
confused at what I was asking. But my Italian is slightly better and the woman
working was amused that I was able to converse in Italian with her much better
than I was in German. Hahaha.
I ordered a Solo Mio pizza (yes a whole one) and a beer. They
brought out a small bruschetta appetizer for me which was a really good
representation of how good the food was going to be.
The pizza came out a short while later and smelled
wonderful. Spinach, salami, and garlic (and cheese, obviously). I had to eat
the first few bites with a fork until it cooled off enough to pick up like a normal
person. This was a great pizza. I ate the entire thing and impressed the Italian
lady working there. She pressured me pretty good to get some grappa, but I
declined. I still had to make it home from a part of town I was very unfamiliar
with. Although, after eating that entire pizza, I needed to walk as far as
possible. It ended up being a few miles in the dark, late at night. Hey, I’m
still alive, so it worked out well, right?
