Porchetta
by Applelyn
This is a very good roadside snack. The skin is very crispy and the meat taste like Pekking Duck. When wrapped into a french loaf, it is fit for a meal. You can also try the sausage as a side. Just stop by any pushcart along any road with the sign. This snack originated from Abruzzi area and best eaten at its origin..HERE..
Abruzzi--Silvi

"From Silvi Paese--An Overview of Pescara"
From Silvi Paese, you can see the whole Pescara. In good days, you can also see Croatia's coastline. Silvi was an old town of Pescara and it is self-contained with churches, restaurant and convenience shops.
"Peering into the lanes of Silvi paese"
I just love the bricks. The eroded parts and the exposed cement added to the olden days' feel. The workmanship of the brick layers was exposed to scrutiny. Nowadays, it is hidden by a layer of cement and paint.....Every building looks like LEGO. The road tiles somehow give me a feel of how road builders placed them individually with great effort and caution. Sorry people....it just me..a lover of olden times.
"A local bakery of Silvi paese"
It may not be the best dough but it is just an experience trying it. When I was given the pizza with a huge piece of brown paper, I just stared at it. Dunno what to do...Now after I had leant to eat it the local way, I spreading this knowledge :P....1st, fold the pizza into half with the filling in the centre...then wrap the paper around the pizza as a shield from the grease...last, stuff the pizza into your mouth...."Grins" BTW, the tomato base pizza is nice.
"A quick pic."
I stole a quick picture while waiting for the coast to clear. Nice view. While all the drivers were cursing the wait, I was praising God for the chance to take the pic. hehehe. Vanity is the right of a girl.
"Sunrise"
The crimson sky depicts rays of hope. I just love sunrise. But still have not got the chance to take sunrise over the horizon.
