With a lot of traveling before us, we
got up early, had breakfast and hit the road. After a quick detour
in Gaoili to buy some ceramics, we were headed for Florence. It took
about an hour to drive back to Florence, where we returned our Fiat
at the airport and took a cab into the city.

| Pear Ravioli |
After the amazing meal
that we had there on Sunday, we decided that we had to eat at Quattro
Leoni again before we left, so
with our luggage sitting next to us, we sat on the patio and had
another phenomenal meal. Again we started with the tomatoes,
mozzarella, and egg plant, but this time we also got a salad with
fresh goat cheese, apricots, almonds, and honey that was delicious.
This time Mom and Dad had the pear ravioli, which we were smart
enough to take a picture of this time, and I had one last sliced
steak, to see how it compared to the others I had had. It was
right up there as one of the best things I ate on the trip. Finally
we wrapped up lunch with another stop at Gelateria en Passera, for
more Messer Brunelleschi.
With
full stomachs, we took another cab to the train station in Florence,
to catch a train back to Venice. The train was quite crowded, but
after about two hours we were once again back in Venice. After a cab
ride to our hotel, right next to the airport, we were finally done
traveling for the day. We were so tired from all of the traveling,
that we just had dinner in our hotel, which was far from spectacular,
but I finally got to try Chinagle, wild
boar and the Italian equivalent to the Javelina back
home.
After a fabulous
trip, we were looking forward to going home as we returned to our
hotel room.
