Sue and I walked into town last night for dinner. We found a small place with red/white tablecloths, not a tourist in sight and a mad Italian welcoming us in. Dinner was brilliant,
beautiful local food and house wine for 1/2
bottle (2 euros). We sat next to a
young Italian couple who tried to
convince us to have the Trippe, took me a while but they meant Tripe. Tripe is the local specialty of Florence. I passed on the Trippe and
instead had
bruscetta and ravioli.
Today we caught a bus to
Siena. The view on the bus out of the
Tuscany hills gave us a glimpse of how beautiful this area is.
Siena itself was lovely , we just didn't have the time to do it justice. Nevertheless we managed to eat lunch from a local deli and
gelato from a no names place (much better than the chains).
We were just in time to see a parade celebrating the local saints day.
They start cute.
A long and exhausting day but a great day.
