May 31 - Vatican Tour

          I thought I would do a second post for today as there were just so many pictures to share with you.  One of the things you will see is the very colourful Vatican/Pope's private Swiss Guards. 

          I went for dinner tonight in the hotel restaurant where we are staying at, the Rose Garden Palace, as Neil was still not up to moving about.  I have to tell you the Chef here never disappoints, his cooking skills are exquisite.  Tonight I had pork tenderloin stuffed with prunes and rolled in grainy mustard seeds.  It was so tender and the centre of the plate was filled with slices of semi-crisp baby zucchini and some onion medallions.  Dessert was outstanding!  The plate was so decorative.  It was a baked chocolate pudding with a touch of caramel and topped with a sprinkle of icing sugar.  Then there was some caramelized sugar in the shape of a cup with a scoop of amaretto flavoured ice cream inside.  Lastly there was some blackberries and raspberries lined around the outside of the plate with a little cream sauce and sprinkled with a touch of icing sugar.  I do not think I am doing this meal justice with my description, but it was magnificent!  My complements to the chef. 

Happy Friday Everyone!  Ciao...Tori
