The last blog post about the roof (I promise!)

While I'm typing here, we've got some rather heavy thunder and rain outside. So, it's especially nice to know that the roof is ready and everything's safe and dry inside.






Now we can officially move from the roof topic to more earthly matters such as windows and doors. As of now we have the metal structure in place for the windows and now I'm eagerly looking forward to sharing with you photos about the developments when I'm back from my travels next week.




The other earthly matter I wanted to share with you is an absolutely incredible and original fish soup of Lido Esperia, run by a very nice couple Miriam and Vicenzo. Their fish soup is so unique that it has been also on Italian national TV.
We had the opportunity to taste this famous soup at the dinner of the aspirant sommeliers. So, first of all you get this huuuuuge hot plate right from the owen, then the waiter removes the lid and a 2-hour struggle with the soup can start :) Usually you're supposed to first eat the fish and whatever other marine life forms that have been caught in the morning. When you think you've almost managed to eat all, you get chitarra pasta (served on seashells) to put inside the delicious tomato sauce. Oh, almost forgot, this soup is one of the dishes that fits remarkably well with Cerasuolo wine.
