Jamie says: We’re in Italy!!!
After lugging my oversized luggage and ridiculously heavy backpack from the plane to a bus to a train and to the hotel, I started to question my packing and my decision of bringing my 8 lb laptop with me. I’m happy to have it now. When I went to Rome in 2007, I journaled about my trip, but this time, I thought it would be fun to share our food adventures.
We begin our adventure in Florence (Firenze)!
After the meager plane breakfast and some snacks I brought from home (a gala apple that K and Dad both said was amazing (I agreed) and my first time trying the blueberry muffin Larabar), I was beyond ready for a good meal. We ate a late lunch at Scudieri Firenze. The view was awesome. We were right on the piazza facing the Duomo (a huge, spectacular church with a large dome). I ate the bread (also slightly stale) with an olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper dipping oil and the Insalate Toscana- sliced turkey (think good cold cuts) over mista (amazing leafy greens) with cheese, tomatoes, and olives. The dressing was the olive oil from the table. It was light and tasty. It was good but it didn’t scream Italy, though. And by the end of the meal, there was definitely still room for gelato…
