Thursday night I went back up to Fiesole with the intent of going to see "Carmina Burana" as performed by the orchstra of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino in the Roman ampitheater there. But dinner was so great and the conversations at the table just went on and on and before I knew it, it was too late to go to the concert. So instead of hearing a great concert, I had dessert: a flourless dark chocolate cake with raspberry sauce. Yum!
Also in the category of culinary adventures, I had my first tripe sandwich on Thursday afternoon after school. As you can see below, it's been memorialized for history:
It was ok, but I won't be having another!
Last night, I had dinner with Marco at this great restaurant called Taverna del Bronzino, which is in a 15th century building. It was originally the painting studio of il Bronzino, Agnolo di Cosimo, who painted many of the portraits of the Medici family. The food was really wonderful, and the conversation was fantastic. Marco brought his dog with him, a cocker spaniel of some sort. The sweet dog slept under the table at my feet during the entire (2 hour long) meal.
And now I have two days in front of me with no school in which to make plans. I'm thinking about going to Torre del Lago on the coast, where Puccini spent most of his life. If there are no posts for a few days, that's where I've gone.
