Sardinia Italy ~ History and Food

We visited a historical site, believed to be the first settlement on Sardinia in 8th century BC!  by Phoenicians.

 

Roman baths.  They had a fire pit under the floor to warm the water.  Hot tub!

             Standing on a Roman road, from 2000 years ago!!! what?!!

There were mosaics everywhere.  This was a bedroom floor.  I could not get over how long this stuff had been here!

 

 

 

This theater was from 100 AD.   They have concerts here sometimes so... at least we have Rome to look forward to.

We had planned to swim at the beach here after our visit in the blazing heat of the day (like 88 degrees... I know Texans, but that was HOT in this crazy terrain!).  But we took one look at this crowded beach and drove back to our perfect little beach by our house!  Happy! 

 

 

 

 

Here... 

One of my favorite pictures!

We were even here long enough to have a favorite restaurant!  Everything we ordered here was so fresh and delicious.  So we came back on our last evening out and had a special dinner and dessert.  What a great memory!

                   here's a cheesy "Loving Italy" look...

            Emma had pizza every day

 I ordered the most exotic plate.  The local catch... see the octopus?!  We all tried it and liked it!  John had actually seen one earlier in the week while snorkeling! 

 

 

The tiramisu is what really brought us back here!  So we all ordered it for dessert...

...except for Jacob, who ordered the nutella pizza.  What a surprise, it was amazing too!
