Another Day - A New Experience Part 1

We started our day today by driving Rob to work since he rode his bike Friday, but had to be dropped off because he got really sick.  (I hope he makes it home on his bike ok.) After we dropped Rob off, I took the kids to school, and Fisher and I headed out to do a little shopping.  The mall was CLOSED until 2:00, which I think is ridiculous! So we came back to the hotel to waste some time. We picked the kids up at 2:00 and decided to try again.  I have never grocery shopped in an Italian store before, so I was a little nervous.  The Commissary was closed today, and I had to get something for dinner, so I really had to give it a try.  There were a few things that were written in English that I recognized, like Nesquik! hahaha!  That's not dinner though.  We got to the meat section, and let me just say that I was HORRIFIED to learn that they consume HORSE MEAT here! sicko!  Yes, there it was all wrapped up like steak. That is just not cool at all.  They really should get out and do more hunting here.  After searching for what seemed like hours, I decided to just get something that looked tasty and go with it.  I picked out some meat on skewers.  I have no idea whatsoever of what I purchased, but I will let you know shortly.  I am currently preparing the grill....
