...that's amore

Last night was a gorgeous evening in Mazara, with the moon peeking out over the buildings as we dined at a popular pizzeria near the city center.

Choosing a pizza can be difficult business due to so many tempting options.  I decided to go with one called the Uomini e Donne (Men and Women), which was topped with mozzarella, melanzane (eggplant), salami piccante, funghi freschi (mushrooms) and shaved scaglie (Parmesan).  This pie did not let me down.

 

There was a big group of us dining al fresco, and I grabbed one of the servers to snap a photo as we finished up.

Also, I had to snap one of my gracious hosts in Mazara, Fran and Claudia.

After dinner, at about midnight, we all took a nice stroll around the casbah, or ancient Arab quarter of the city.  In 2010, this area was partially restored, and there are some beautiful little streets and piazze.

Finishing up our stroll, which lasted about an hour, we ended up back in the center to chat with friends until about 2:30 am.  Mazara was still going strong, but we decided to call it a night, for another day of sun and sand awaited.
