Taken via iPhone: Random But Mostly Food (Again) Edition
Enchiladas verde at Tijuana. (turns out the giant Mexican portions do not happen in Italy)
Kitsch: delicious apertivo!
Gusta Pizza makes the best spicy salami pizza in Florence
Carraia makes the best cookie gelato in Florence
spinach and cheese ravioli in a 4 cheese and truffle oil sauce from Golden View. I'm still having dreams about this one.
Balsamic steak from Golden View
Cookie and panna cotta from Santa Trinita (not as good as Carraia)
Spring is on its way!

Day Trip to Lucca
Puccini's Memorial and house in the background
Apparently, when this used to be a Roman Amphi- theater, that block used to be the top of the entryway before the city was built up.
Taking over the rando giant golden bull

the Duomo from the bar on the terrace of the Uffizi
