Prima

It has been a funny day today. I kept waking up just before the alarm clock went off about three times and finally decided I'd get up and order this book. I suspect it's the anticipation that kept me up this much. That's BYJ effect huh!
Anyhow I'd like to share this Italian restaurant in town which my friend and I visited after a stressful day. It's a cozy place but would have been better if there wasn't someone serenading when we just wanted to relax. There's only so much I could take and I would prefer a relaxing ambience instead.
Prima is a bar restaurant and it isn't big either. I'd say it has a capacity of less than a hundred. My friend preferred this over the New York style restaurant Alex and I go to but we didn't expect the Italian would be there. Don't get me wrong he had a lovely voice.

I really like the big vases they had in the window and the glass lanterns.

My friend liked these bottles in the windowsill. Some spices and olive oils I suppose.

I kept looking at these hanging candle holders opposite me. I think they were sweet.

This is an English summer drink Pimms and fruits which is a staple drink in Southern England including Wimbledon and other formal gatherings.

The size of this Vesuvio pizza made me think of all the children in Africa or just somewhere not eating a lot.. It's a shame really how much food is offered in this part of the world when there are those eating so little.
Anyhow, it's not a bad restaurant. I would perhaps come back when it's not too busy.
