true Italian Dinner!
hello all, so tonight I got to experience a true Italian restaurant with real Italian food (well around here you would say you were going out for food, bc they all assume of course you are going out for Italian food, where in the states one would ask "what kind of food, Italian, mexican, chinese, etc…") Lauren, her cousin Kristy and I went to a restaurant called "La Vecchia" I pronouce it as "La Vec-e-ah" but what ever..I guess. well anyways again I am so glad that I have Lauren around to tell me what to order and she actually orders it for me so tonight we got a liter of rosa wine, which means a liter pitcher of their house red wine, bread, prosciutto with catelope melon, then our meals (I ordered a pasta with baby tomato’s and brocolli) I think I have told you all about that before, bc I have eaten at this restaurant just once before, but anyways it was good…
So after we sat and talked I ordered the best tiramisu I have EVER had and then they brought us this lemon type slushy drink that was to die for!!! It was a GREAT meal..
So then I asked Lauren where the restroom was, she pointed in the direction, once I started walking that way I could have figured it out by myself, bc of the large "TOILET" signs with large fingers pointing my way. So on the door I only see a cartoon picture of a man/woman (just like we have in the states), but I was thinking, "this cant be the ONLY bathroom for the whole restuarant", well guess what…it was…so I open the door to see two sinks, just like in the states…then two restroom doors….but with one saying "masculine" and the other saying "feminine" I was shocked to see the only bathroom have only 2 doors, with only one allowing me to be told where to potty (obv you can tell I work with kids… ha ha to all the moms!) and then with the toliet paper…if you have been to Dahlonega I am sure that someone has taken you to the famous "Robyn’s Nest for lunch" well if you know Robyn’s Nest you know she has small tissue dispensers at each table,(which I know she has recently changed to be properly exact) and that is the way the bathroom toilet paper is given to you…in a weird dispenser like Robyn’s nest. Then a button up on the wall must be pushed in order to flush…I just find that so odd, bc so many people at home in the states (well girls that is I know) just press the normal flusher with their foot (shoe) well here, good luck trying to do that bc the button is half way up the wall….
So needless to say, washing your hands with a man next to you in a bathroom is also a weird moment, that I hope I never get to share again!
