Five Things

April 27th, 2012

{A pretty carousel in the middle of Florence}

The second week of our honeymoon has been even better than our first. Truffles are in season and we’ve managed to incorporate them into at least one dish per day (along with pizza, pasta, and gelato, naturally). We were in Tuscany for three days and we’ve been exploring Florence for the past four before we head back on Monday. I can’t wait to get home to see our family, friends, and cats and am also excited to share the first of two updates to my site next week. Here’s a glimpse at just a few of the things that are currently making me happy.

    I wish I could visit Italy again. It’s such an amazing country with such rich history. The cities are truly beautiful.
    Those fruit marshmallows look delicious!

    I am curious to know what kind of shoes you wore for all those long walks around Italy. Finding cute, comfortable shoes for traveling has always been a huge challenge for me!. If you have any advice, I’d love to hear it as I’ll be going on my honeymoon (in Africa) in November! Thanks!

    Oh! If you are a true truffle lover you MUST go to Osteria delle tre panche! It’s in Florence but not in the middle of the city..10 min cab ride from the Ponte Vecchio. It’s literally 3 tables and they have the most decadent truffle dishes you will ever eat!
    The address is:
    Via Antonio Pacinotti, 32-r | 50131, Florence, Italy

    Have an amazing Honeymoon!
