Also while in Florence we took a day to become Italian chefs! We met our chef "Laura" (aka: Italian Martha Stewart) at a local market to shop for the ingredients and then walked back to her place to make a meal. The menu consisted of arugula pesto with le tagliatelle in parmesan bowls, fennel crusted pork tenderloin with fresh zucchini, custard tarts with fresh pears, and of course wine! We learned that making homemade pasta is relatively easy and very enjoyable! We found though that we don't have our dough making muscles built up very well!!
This was such a relaxing day being able to get out of the tourist areas and really experience how the locals live. We enjoyed being able to talk with Laura and learning all about Italy from a local's perspective. She asked us her burning questions about Americans and we asked her all that we could think of about Italians! She spoke English relatively well, but there were many laughs when we were having hard time communicating!!!
