First, an editorial note: I’m going to start posting out of order. I’m going to keep moving forward, with more small posts of the moment, like this one. When I have time I’ll also try to go back and fill in the things I’ve skipped with more detailed posts, and back-date them so they appear in the right place in time.
I’m in Firenze for a night. Tomorrow I depart on a 4 day motorcycle tour . The plan was to go to the Dolomites (eastern Italian Alps) and ride all the passes, but it’s going to rain this weekend and with the cold weather it’ll be no fun. Instead we’ll go south through Toscana and Umbria; at least it’ll be a warm rain.
I managed to negotiate the entire day without English. Ticket and green pass check on the train. Hotel check-in. Ordering dinner.
As for dinner. Carbonara al mare: in place of guanciale, frutti di mare. The wine is from Sardegna, that was all I caught.
Finally, food pics. I know what y’all are really here for!
