Update from Italia

Here is an update from Florence, Italy - where I spent two weeks in at the beginning of the summer. While the food at Georgetown's Villa Le Balze was amazing in itself - and every meal came with endless Chianti Classico - venturing into the city for some of the fresh, local foods was always an extra treat. Here are some highlights:

While I'm a firm believer that a good pizza is defined by its crust, Gusta Pizza in central florence reminded me its about the ingredients, too. Fresh basil, mozzarella and tomato sauce layered on crispy, wood-oven fired dough was a winning combo. I got two of these they were so good, though first one had fresh salami on it. 

Here we have have the most expensive truffle in the world, for a special price of 330,000 euros. I hope they have some good security in the Mercato Centrale in Florence.

Also in the central market was the best salami and cannoli I've ever had in my life, alongside a nice 1 euro cappuccino. 
 Now, on to Denmark, and hopefully some further travels. Ciao and farvel!
