This picture that we studied in class the other day reminded me of when I went to Spain and Italy this last summer.  It reminds me a lot of the restaurants we went into.  Every night we would  go to a really nice restaurant and be served about 3-4 courses of delicious food.  A lot of the time we had no idea what we were eating.  We were always really hungry by the time dinner came around.  They eat really late in Spain and Italy.  They eat around 8.  The way you are served is also very different there.  You pick a certain combination of food like pizza or pasta and salad or fries.  A lot of the options were a lot like america but they made it a lot different.  The salad had a vinigarette on it and the fries were always freshly made.  The pizzas were made by had with a thin crust and amazing sauce.  The pasta was always al dante (tender) and the sauce made from scratch.  They served an entire group like ours by bringing huge tubs of pasta out and putting it on everyones plates that ordered it and the same with the salad and fries.  It was always very relaxed and fun to go to the restaurants and I miss it a lot.  I will never eat pasta as good as the pasta we had in Italy again.
