Today (Friday, June 19th) Mary is going to show me the garden shop I've been trying to find. I'm excited because I've been looking for a place that has a trellis for me to grow glicine on (I have no idea what it translates to in English, just know that it's a beautiful climbing flower and it smells like a little bit of heaven) and so far I've been unsuccessful. The name of this lovely establishment is Viridea and I believe that the name is just as beautiful as the place... As you're driving up to it, you're kinda forced to look at it because it's surrounded by nothing and crappy road, but right in front of it the road is nice so you can tell they paid for that portion of the pavement! The parking lot amuses me because you park on the grass... kinda. The aisles are paved and the parking spaces are marked with brick lines in the ground, but the spaces themselves are a brick pattern with grass growing through it. It's not something I'm used to (yet) and I think it's beautiful and pretty smart too.
After our garden shopping, we head over to Prenatal to look for baby stuff and we find a hidden jewel of a store right next to the brand new Burger King they're putting in... complete with drive-thru! Weird, trust me. This lovely little store has super cute (and functional!) stuff for every room in the house and it's very reasonably priced. SCORE! Yes, I expect I'll be back here a few more times in the next few years. I found some wall art there and I'm stoked to have it in my house now!
At the end of our little shopping excursion, it is decided that we're hungry and no one feels like cooking so off we go to Camisano so Mary can take me to her favorite little pizza place. This is an excellent little detour for me (in spite of the 3 year old and the 9 year old not quite working well together!!) and I enjoy the scenery yet again. Man, I love this place! When we get to Camisano, Mary shows me where the market will be on Sunday... they have adorable little shops that I totally can't afford, but they'll make great pics when I come back. Then we head to her little pizza place... only to find that it's not there anymore! Sadness. On the bright side, there's no shortage of places to find food here, so we go to the one around the corner. It's a little nicer than the pizzeria she was going to take me to... more like a Chili's than a Taco Bell. They certainly know how to set a table...
Our food was definitely delicious... Felix had the always safe prosciutto pizza whereas I decided to actually try something new and had a pizza with pears and four kinds of cheese. I wish I could remember what it was called... guess I'll have to go back. Dessert was excellent as well and I've already decided what I'll have on my next trip because that strawberry and lemon thing looked spectacular. Felix and I shared some kind of pudding that neither one of us complained about!
We left full and happy and looking forward to the next trip out. We'll be back in Camisano in a couple days and maybe we can throw Nove in there for good measure... Mary really needs to see it!
