Cappuccino at the Rome Airport

After spending 10 days far away in a country that really knows how to do food right, I’ve headed back home. A 4am cab ride to the Torino airport in which I took a short flight to Rome airport. At the Rome airport, I thought it was time to have my last cappuccino in Italy. After 10 days of thoroughly enjoying coffee in this country, I knew the routine. Pay at the cashier and belly up to the bar with your receipt and enjoy a delicious cup of espresso with frothy steamed milk made right in front of you in a ceramic cup.

Imagine my disappointment when I was given a cappuccino in a lousy red and white cup.  Major bummer.  This was nothing like the drink I’d had when I landed in Milan last week.  I guess it was just as well since I needed to come back down to reality. Once home, there would be plenty of paper cups.

Stay tuned, I’ll be posting  both words and photos about the food and drink I enjoyed during my adventure to Terra Madre.
