Today’s tarted at 10 a.m., completely by accident! We went to bed at 10 p.m. Last night, Travis slept through, but I woke up at 2 a.m. And couldn’t go back to sleep until 5 a.m. I never thought I could close my eyes and not wake up until 10 a.m.!
We were off to a startled start. First order of the day was caffe(espresso) however, we needed more euro for this. So we did some checking and found a bank was located in the bottom of the train station next to out hotel. Once exchanged we were off to find lunch! We wandered to the Central Market.
Travis and I walked around, looking at all the amazing cheese, fish, pork, veggies etc. we finally had to stop for this salumari advertised a orgasmic sandwich. If your going to name a sandwich orgasmic it’s got to be good. I can say, procuisiutto, peppers, salsa Verdi, reduced basamic and amazing focaccia was and amazing deal. It started light.y drizzling. But we had appointments at the Gallery de Academia to see Michelangilo David. He was amazing, worth the admission in!
We then walked through most of the historic city center. Twice (almost) went in search of mystic Grom Gelatto, but couldn’t find it so we settled for gelato on the other side of the Arno River. We had some adventures trying to find the WC, twice. We killed some time by trying to find the Biboli Gardens. Then didn’t find the gardens. So headed to a bridge to people watch! After that was too much fun, we took sitting on a bridge to people watch. Discussed the importance that Italiana. En put on dress and character. It says a lot about their culture! After the people watching we headed to dinner at Il Livitanai. Their they provided us a Hefty plate of prosciutto, salami, and mortellaa. Followed by amazing pastas, ravioli stugged with spinach and cheese. Our meat portion came, full to the top with lamb. To finish off the meal we were presesed with all the desserts, from almond cake, to tuxedo cake to biscotti in vino, almond cake. We hobbled home, full and ready to start our next adventure.
