So this is
Beef shank. Super good. It might sound nasty but it taste very delicious. We went to this Restaurant called 13
Gobbis. The first owner won
il TOTOCALCIO which is a game of chance. You try to
guess the
results of the 13 soccer games that every
Sundays are
plaid. If you win you get tons of money. So this guy won and he called the restaurant with the number 13.

Katy with a bowl of
Maccheroni con mozzarella e
sugo di pomodoro. Super good.

The three EURO Girls. Kathy and the euro girls have been traveling together around
Europe for at least 15 years. The have seen more stuff than most of the people in Europe. They have many funny stories.

Italian sky for your clouds collection.

Picture with the American
mamma and with the Italian
mamma,
sul ponte vecchio.
Il Ponte vecchio with all the
jewelry shops, that place with all its gold is worth millions. The shops on the bridge are awesome and there are some really cool second story houses. I really don't know if people live there but I would like to have one of those I would party all day and night with friends there. I would put a BBQ on the balcony and live the good life!!!

Looking south from
il Ponte Vecchio on the left you can see a tiny piece of the
Uffizzi gallery, and on the center/right where all the trees are you can see
Piazzale Michelangelo, awesome view of the city.

La
mamma 
The Euro Girls with la
mamma in the Palazzo
Pitti
La
grotta del Buon Talenti. For all of you that want to learn a bit of Italian, GROTTO is the
Americanize version of the real word
grotta, so now you know the truth. There is this place in San Francisco that is
called Pompei's grotto. First of all it should be
grotta and then as it was
confirmed by Stephanie there is no
grotta in
Pompei anyway. There you go
Steph now the whole world knows the truth!

Famous Fat man on the turtle, I mean I cool is that
Il giardino di Boboli. Those are the
gardend of
Palazzo Pitti, they are awesome and used to be a great place to go when you decided to skip school for a day or two, and an awesome make out place, but I wouldn't know because I have never ditch school.
Palazzo vecchio or at least the tower. Old residence of the Lords of Florence that then decide to move the
Palazzo Pitti with the make out gardens. Good
choice!

Following up on the personal goal of on cone a day, Day 1
Nutella and
chocolate chip. It is the most divine thing in the whole world if you haven't tried you are missing out. And for all of you out there that think that Ben and Jerry can
compete you are either crazy of your taste is a little waked.

In front of the
Duomo. I love this place it is probably the central point of the whole city. Everything revolves around the
Duomo. It is just magnificent!

La cupola
del Brunelleschi. I
Duomo, it is one of the best place in Florence. I love to climb up there it is an awesome walk. The fresco inside are gorgeous and the view from
outhere is amazing. Other good spot for when you ditch school.

The door of the
baptistery. It has different story from the bible, really cool. Don't let you fool it is just a fake. The real one is in a
Museum, but the fake is pretty good and most people don't even know that they are looking at an imitation.

And this is how my first day in Italy started. Pastry!!! It just makes me feel the
spirit looking at these beauties, eating them it is an even more powerful experience. I mean that if you haven't tried nothing like it you probably will have a hard time to imagine how good they are. It is worth the $1000 for the trip.
