After being in bustling Rome and Naples, spending five nights in Sorrento was like a vacation within a vacation. Even with the day trips we were taking, the pace of life slowed down significantly, especially in the evenings once we returned back to Sorrento. And evenings in Sorrento meant dinner and wine in Sorrento. On a couple of those evenings, we decided on a picnic like meal in the inner courtyard garden of our apartment, just off Piazza Sant’Antonino. Not a bad place for a meal!
On Canadian Thanksgiving evening, we stopped by the grocery store and picked up a nice spread of smoked cheeses, some cured meats, gluten free cookies, bread (for me), paprika chips (a European tradition for us) and a bottle of prosecco. We’ve now had a few of these al fresco Thanksgiving dinners in Europe over the years. There’s something special about eating under the stars…
