Of course, now that you mention it, the baker woman. A good restaurant chain in the USA is Il Fornaio, in San Fran, Seattle, Pasadena, other places. They always bake bread and sell it along with serving excellent meals.
How terrific to have spent a semester studying art in Rome! I'm so pleased that FR has this nice little culture corner where I can meet people who've done the things that interest me. I spent one month there in 97 visiting friends and sort of frumming around the city on my own, as they worked. At the Vatican Grill, I met a fellow --American as I recall-- who'd just completed the art for the improved Grand Central Station in NYC. His friends swore up and down that he had indeed done so....I forget his name but you probably can roll it off your tongue. He was, I think, teaching at the American U in Rome.
One of my best semesters in college was to spend a semester in Florence, Italy. It was amazing to have lectures on site at the various churches, and to live with Italian families, speak Italian with them. It was wonderful just to experience a different culture and live the way they live.
