Shopping, Sushi, and Gelato

For our family and friends in the States I thought I would include a picture to show you where a majority of my hard earned income is spent... Here is a picture of three beautiful ladies who love to shop!!! The one in front is by far the ring leader... Actually to be honest we all love H&M and the Udine Mall... H&M has quality clothes for the whole family and the mall is very similar to those in the States. If the Dollar/Euro ratio wasn't so bad we would prefer shopping in Italy over most places in the States. The clothes are of a better quality and not mass produced from someplace in Asia. In Italy everyone seems to have their own sense of style. It's always fun to window shop and view the latest trends... We usually head to the mall for a little shopping, sushi, and gelato!... I have to say the only one real challenge we've come across in Italy is finding something other than Italian food to eat. Trust me the Italian food is good, but a little variety every once in a while would be nice. So far the mall has the best sushi we've come across. The owners are actually Japanese...Go figure... It seems the Italians are very proud of their food and have a tendency to put their own spin on other ethnic foods. There's nothing worse than taking a bite of Indian,Chinese or Mexican food and it tasting like spaghetti.... After a little sushi we always save the best for last.... Gelato! This I believe is the one thing that Italians consistently do well. On the bottom floor below the food court is one of the best gelato places around. Try the "limone con cioccolato" you won't be disappointed!
