LiveFlorence: #localeats Gelati

Florence – where one can eat gelati until they burst! Because they have the BEST gelati in the world! According to some polls and me anyway.

Market mornings

What better way to start your morning, or weekend for that matter, than at the fresh food market. The liveliness of the market will wake you up and the fresh produce will set you up for the week ahead.
