Abbronzatura in the Mediterranean
... with blank stares from nearly everyone. "The beer?" One girl asked. I was aghast! Another girl from Wisconsin knew exactly what I meant, so I had proof that I wasn't crazy. Apparently those flavors are limited to the Midwest.
Anyway. We took pretty pictures by the water and eventually found our way back to the meeting place. Our free dinner was pretty spectacular. I'm still not used to the multiple course Italian dinner. A delicious plate of gnocchi was set in front of me and ...
