O’Brien Family Italian Adventure: Day 3

Today we got a bit of a late start- everyone slept in! After breakfast we headed back to the Florence train station to meet our tour bus. It was a rainy yucky day (but not as cold as home). We were able to get an overview of the area and see some really cool sites. We had fun exploring the Piazza de Michelangelo and were able to decide what we wanted to spend time on the next day.

The kids noticed an American 50’s  Diner on our street and insisted we had to eat a late lunch there. It was pretty funny. Grease was playing the whole time and Bren got a picture with a Marilyn statue. The burgers and hot dogs were pretty good and the hot chocolate tasted like pudding!

We relaxed back at the apartment for a little bit and then headed out to dinner at a local restaurant our host suggested. It was fantastic! We all enjoyed a very Italian dinner (wine included!) and tried some new things too. We met the original owner (who’s recipe for cheesecake was one of the best parts). She was lovely to talk to about cold winters as she was born in Canada. In typical Italian fashion it was a long and late dinner but a really good one!
