Day 10

Rotation was uneventful except for the fact that mid-day we are sitting there most likely talking about different words and translating them, when we hear a sex in the city ringtone. In the pharmacy. At work. Sex in the city ringtone that NO ONE seems to think is a little, just even a little inappropriate. Guess this just fits the theme of sensual Europeans. Go us!

You know what we have started to notice, toliet seats are hard to come by...just like toliet paper and chicken. I am not sure if they are preventing us from sitting on the seat (which we wouldn't do anyways) or if they simply do not exist, but it has made using the restroom extremely difficult. My butt would seriously just fall in..I don't know how all these tiny italians don't fall in more often.

DINNER DATE NIGHT!!! With you know who (insert eye roll here)
Just kidding, I love my CC =)
So we decide to plan ahead, research the crap out of the restaurants we wanted to go to...we were not repeating that horrible dinner last Friday. We find a place, see where it is and pick out what we are going to order...google's "translate this page" is a tool that restaurants have no yet instated.

Right before we leave, I make sure we know where we are going and tell CC that we may be walking on a highway. We both agreed there would be a sidewalk and start on our way.

We run into this highway that we assumed would just be a bigger road and see that it is 4 lanes with bridges and forks and mayhem. We looked for a cross walk and when we did not see one, decided this would not be a good idea....And we're back to the hotel... so much for a sea side dinner at Kalhesa. Maybe another day..with a taxi

We find another restaurant that was ranked # 11 in Palermo, this has to be good right? We look at the menu and decide we are hungry enough for anything.

Upon arriving at the Regine Ristorante, CC pulls on the door. It is locked. Are you kidding me??

Almost had an acute MI when a nice waiter opens the door. What restaurants locks its door?? We walk in and it is gorgeous. We sit at a table, with two huge smiles matching on our faces. They start with the bread that had a gorgonzola mousse. A GORGONZOLA MOUSSE. Heaven. I am DETERMINED to replicate this. I can't stop thinking about this cheese.

We order a risotto appetizer (delicious) a fillet with mushrooms (even better) and a fresh (fresh as in was sitting in ice head, tail, and all right in the center of the dining  area before we ordered it)
grilled fish. I ATE MY FIRST FISH BONE, on accident of course and I caught it before swallowing it (a picture will soon follow). For dessert, yes we are still eating this doesn't happen often, we had
panna cotta with a light caramello sauce--That I now know how to say in 3 different languages .

Bellies full, we head back to our place
