Florence – Firenze

We ran around Florence quite a bit.  We climbed up a Duomo and a tower and explored churches, crossed bridges, and looked at a garden full of statues.

So far, the best pizza has been in Florence, at a little shop called Toto Atto II by the Pitti Palace & Bobeli Gardens.  They had several pizzas without sauce.  They didn’t need sauce.  So good.

Upon Larry’s recommendation, we had a very nice dinner at a restaurant called Coquinarius.  I tried the wild boar.  It was a cured meat, very similar to speck or bresaola, served over an arugula salad.  Becky got a really tasty pork loin roasted in rosemary with peaches, drizzled with balsamic vinegar – her words, not mine.

Oh yeah, and we went to museums.  We saw this statue called The David… it was pretty impressive.  We also saw a painting of a blond woman hanging out on top of a giant sea shell.  Becky likes that one a lot.

Tomorrow we’re headed to Rome, our last stop.
