For the record, I will confess that I love Italy ….. but I love the food more. I freely admit that I ate my way through Florence, and I’m not going to apologize for it. I probably gained 10 pounds, and I don’t even want to think about the cholesterol issues. I loved every bite, and trust me….after 24 hours in Copenhagen, I want to go back. As we prepare to leave for the port, I wanted to get out one more post. There’s little doubt that we will be back in “wireless no man’s land” once we board this afternoon, so if the posts aren’t showing, you know why.
Meanwhile, just a few of the culinary highlights from Tuscany. We started off with a wine tasting in Siena. Charlie has learned to love (or at least “like”) pasta. We both love seafood, especially calamari and octopus, so we were in heaven when we arrived in Florence. I would love to elaborate; however, time—nor Charlie—will permit. Here goes…..
Tuscany—it was exactly as I had imagined….vinyards as far as the eye can see.
Our first wine tasting outside Siena….with a little lunch on the side.
Does the man look happy or what?
We also enjoyed a balsamic vinegar tasting. I wish I could take home a barrel of this stuff!
Octopus stew! Yum!!
