Help from the New York Times
Just in time for our trip the New York Times thoughtfully put together a “36 Hours in Florence, Italy” piece. Sadly, it isn’t really what I need. Instead of focusing on sights and bike rides and places to sample olive oil it details lots of interesting places to eat and we aren’t going for the food. At least not the kind that the article highlights.
What I could really use is a guide to the best gelato and ravioli. I’ve promised my family at least one gelato stop a day and I’ve been craving ravioli ever since I started planning this trip. I’ve found that the ravioli around here generally lacks a certain something that I hope to find in Italy.
We leave tomorrow - Monday - but have to fly through Detroit first. Then we have two nights in Rome, four in Florence, and two in Venice.
