Nicole and I decided to spend our Friday by taking a short day trip to Gaeta/Formia, as I did last weekend to Frascati and Anzio. Unfortunately the weather wasn't cooperating and the town may have not been the perfect choice. Nonetheless we had a blast and it was definitely a good trip for us to be on together since we are both very much laugh at yourself and make the best of any situation people.
As we stepped off the train, rain blew in our face and we tried to exit the station the wrong way... people obviously knew we weren't locals from the beginning. We then decided we'd try to find a restaurant to eat. Not an easy task. We questioned if people even ate there because we only saw shops and not even a grocery store.
Eventually we made it to a restaurant that was actually really cute and a little cowboy themed or something. Bull riding stuff. We decided on having pizza, but both decided we wanted different, not as american things. Therefore the pizza I ordered said it would have mozzarella, spicy salami and potato on it, and Nicole (who always gets Margherita everywhere) ordered one with mozzarella di buffala and tomato and something else. Low and behold when the pizzas came, hers was basically a margherita, and mine was basically french fries and pepperoni (like the pizza I had teased at the last place. oops.)
Despite not being able to finish our pizzas, a couple tables over a couple had gotten some cheesecake to split and Nicole and I got weak and decided to order some. Little did we know they had multiple kinds and well all you know I'm extremely indecisive, but Nicole is too... so we got cheesecake. He asked us if we wanted caramel, chocolate, strawberry or some other berry and we couldn't pick. As he saw the hesitation in our indecisive eyes, he pointed up and goes "I know" to us, and came back with what is pictures, a piece cut into four with a drizzle of each sauce. The strawberry and caramel were probably my favorite.
After lunch there was basically nothing to do there, so we walked around, looked at all the shop windows that were closed for siesta and then headed back to Rome to rest up before we cook some dinner and head out for the night. Despite sounding like not so fun of a day, we actually had a really good time together since we normally hang out in groups and have some fun stories to share with our friends.
