The Peavy Family Blog: On to Florence

On Monday, we slept in a bit and checked out at 10:00 and hit a cafe for sweet treats and espresso before boarding the high speed train to Florence.

After we dropped the bags at Drake's, we walked through the city on our way to see where he had class and also grabbed lunch at a food cart for Lamprodetto - a meal made from the fourth stomach of a cow. (Tanner had pizza in Santa Croce Piazza). We ate it on the stairs of a church and then headed back and saw the highlights of Florence - Uffizi, Palazzo Vecchio, loggia Mercado; and the piazza del Republica.

We grabbed gelato on National Gelato Day and then checked in and took naps. We did aperitivo at the Airbnb and then walked to the other side of the river across the Ponte Vecchio to Osteria Dell Enoteca which was recommended by Drake's professor. We had Florentine Steak, good pasta and Marshall and Drake got to go to the wine room to pick out the wine. Once again, the last people at the restaurant. We walked back a different way and such a different way to see city without all the people around. Such a walkable city and you can see people why so many people love it.
