We have tickets to the Boboli Garden behind the Pitti Palace. The garden was started in 1549 and was the inspiration for future European gardens.
Yesterday, we went to our favorite place for lunch, the Mercato Centrale. This was probably our fourth or fifth time there, but this time the first floor was open. The second floor has food vendor, while first floor is more like a farmers market with produce, meat, raw pasta, and cheese So, this morning we headed over to buy some fruit and cheese. The fruit was easy to buy, but how do you say a quarter pound in metric? Google calculator to the rescue, it’s about .15 kg.
Although we had been to the garden’s before, we had more time to see other parts of the garden this time. Our favorite was the “Fountain of Little Snouts.” A series of 16 little waterfalls on the top of a low wall with each little waterfall coming out of the mouth of a different character.

Tomorrow our plan is to return to the Mercato, buy real Italian ingredients and cook dinner.
