Tuesday, May 31

Yesterday we did some more shopping and made pepperonata and capanata in cooking class. Today we went to the Uffizi museum, which was awesome then I climbed the 414 steps to the top of the dome of the Duomo. It was not for the weak, but luckily I didn't get claustrophobic. We made a zucchini tarts, apples cooked in balsamic vinegar (yum), and cooked pears in white wine sauce.

Tonight we had a gelato workshop which was awesome. We made hazelnut, vanilla, and strawberry sorbet and lemon sorbet. Yum! It was so good. Tomorrow to the Boboli gardens, desserts in cooking class, then not sure.

Gnocchi for dinner (one of my favorite foods here)

This looks like a postcard, picture I took from the Uffizi of the Ponte Vecchio bridge

This dog was getting toted around in a suitcase

Apples in balsamic vinegar, yum!

Zucchini tart

Almost to the top of the dome, looking down into cathedral

Bell tower and much of Florence from top of the dome

The building with the green roof is the market that we love

Very high up there

Not my best pic but whatever
