Palace Maria Luigia - A Sina Hotel Parma

... pizzas are almost a work of art, they are made to order and baked in a stone hearth with a fire burning brightly inside, with whole vegetables carefully adorning the top making it look colourful and edible, or full of giant slices of meat that you (not I) could drool over. It's a whole process here (in Italy), and the pizza cannot be matched. I don't think I have ever eaten so much pizza so willingly in my life, but its tooooo good! Canadian pizza ...

... out in the gloomy weather. We went to Iseo Lake, which is about a half hour away from Dello. It was a quiet ride there, and then we parked and headed up a path towards the forest. It was a bizarre combination of vegetation and topography. The mountains are like Colorado mountains, but then there's the lake, and then upon closer inspection, the trees are so different from Colorado, they're thick and ferny, it felt more jungly than anything ...

... reggiano. I found a brochure for a place that was too far for us to reach unless we had a car so I asked if there was anything closer to town or in the town itself. We were sent a block and a half over to this place that would have been impossible to find. We walked in and there was no one around. Then we heard footsteps coming down the stairs and the guy who ran the place appeared. I asked him if now ...

Today we ventured into Parma we had better luck parking today. It had to be the nicest parking garage ever. Each spot had either a green/unoccupied or red/occupied light right above it and there was music playing over the loud speaker very cool! We had a lunch of tomato and basil pasta with a dessert plate of the meats of Parma. We walked around Parma saw a ...

... boarded the plane and removed the sick passenger. We then refueled and were able to leave Detroit about an hour behind schedule. David and I watched “The Hangover” (again) and basically had a good flight. We landed in Amsterdam and boarded our flight to Venice with no other problems. We drove from Venice to Reggiolo through some ...

... Besides we had a limited time frame and making arrangements online before we left seemed sensible to us. Besides how can you fault a tour that is created just for you. <br><br>We chose a combination tour to experience how Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, Prosciutto di Parma and Balsamic Vinegar are produced under  D.O.P - Denominazione diOrigine Protetta  regulations. D.O.P. designation literally translates "Protected Designation of Origin" and means ...

For a nice little day trip, Zoe and I decided to go to one of the main cities in Emilia-Romagna (the province where our father hails from): Parma.<br><br>The city is reknowned for parmesan cheese and Parma ham, or as we call it, prosciutto.<br><br>If you like quaint churches and little shops, this place is great to visit!<br>

... the papers of these two men who were about five feet from me and then wacked them out of their hands. She screamed some more and then let the boys go. As the second police car drove up, this drunk man walks up to them and falls onto the first car. BIG MISTAKE!! The women cop grabs him by the arms and throws him across the square, right where the two boys were, right next to me. At this point I got up and went back into the train station to stand and ...

... streets. It is very clean too. As I walked to the center of town, I bought some pistachio gelato and it was wonderful. That happened to be my lunch since it was in the late afternoon. I had meant to buy some food for the train ride but at that time I wasn't really hungry. I toured the baptistery, which the ceiling was fabulous, the Duomo (with its façade covered in scaffolding), and a museum next door. I enjoyed a glass of wine and wrote a ...

... for dinner. It&#8217;s a beautiful spa town and smells good! I took a long walk through the park and had a Gran Marnier on the patio. Peggy had Amaretto which pleased the bartender/host. He didn&#8217;t like my ordering a French liqueur! The hotel was one of the nicest on our tour. <br><br>We left our window open and it was actually cold when we got up!
