Today was about 2 things. The Pitti Palace and going to the best gelato shop in town. We accomplished both. The Pitti Palace was great, we took all the tours possible and the wandered all over the huge garden behind it. We will have to go back to more of it. The weather today sucked so we didn't get to see much more than a 1/4 of it and that was a lot of walking. We found the gelato shop and added four more flavors to our list: Hazelnut, Rum, Lemon, and Persimmon. This was by far the best gelato yet, it was so creamy and smooth we are going back every time we visit Florence.
We got some shopping done for us today. We got some pottery for the kitchen (a pasta bowl, some coffee cups, a sugar bowl and a creamer to go with the new espresso machine). We had a great dinner again tonight, I had wild boar for dinner. On the way to dinner we met this lovely young man. Tonight's picture is for Cora. Maybe Kate would like an Italian boyfriend?
We leave for school tomorrow and we have heard we enjoy the country side more than the city. The weather is turning a bit nasty so hopefully this will blow over tonight.
Ciao for now.

Hey guys,
Our weather in Bangkok isn't bad but the city is covered in smog and it's a wonder the sun even shines. Yesterday's sunset looked alien-ish.
We leave for Pattaya, the Gulf of Thailand beach area (the South China Sea) today and I will do cooking school there in the next few days.
Can't wait to compare pics!
Love that lemon gelato! Let us know what your favorite ends up being :)
