What's Next: Rome, Italy

"The Sea" - La Pergola, Rome, Italy

You may have noticed I've taken a LONG hiatus from blogging this year. Maintaining a blog, nevertheless a food blog, takes a lot of effort and is a major time commitment. I'm surprised that I've been going at it since 2009. Anyways, I needed a break. I wanted a year off to have decent meals without having to take hundreds of photos. It was very liberating. No blogging, no Instagram.

Next month, I'm traveling to Italy for 10 days. I'm so excited. Our last trip to Italy was in 2011. I will be covering at least one meal. Ok, maybe a few meals depending on my mood. I'm currently wait listed at Osteria Francescana, the World's Best Restaurant of 2016. I have to wait a week before my trip to find out if we got a reservation. In case Osteria Francescana is a no-go, my back up meal is 3 Michelin-starred La Pergola in Rome.

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.

Travel Log: Rome, Italy

I could have easily spent three days just exploring the historical sites in Rome. It still remains our favorite city of the bunch. Although it was an exhausting journey, we wouldn't mind coming back here. Hubs still talks about the City Hall structure. Like, how did they do that without CAD? Also, gelato was sooo good. The U.S. version is wack.
