The Tabachi

In Italy, a Tabachi is similar to a small convenient store in the United States. There are two of them right across the street from campus. I went there today instead of eating the cafeteria food to get a sandwich. The two ladies who own one of the tabachis posted a sign in English on the door welcoming the American students to get a sandwich. The size is equivalent to a footlong at Subway and it only costs about 4 euro (4*1.34= $5.36). The bread they use is baked fresh every day and they cut the meat and cheese right in front of you. It was really delicious -- a nice change from the usually pasta :) I also had to buy some cookies because meals in Italy seriously lack sugar.
