Today we had a walk around Florence with a guide who took us to the central market in Florence (mercato centrale) and the
market at Sant' Ambrogio. Our guide gave us a lot of insight on the Italian food culture and aspects of their diet which contributes to their overall health. It hasn't escaped anyone's notice that Italians are all thin, in spite of having a generous appetite. After our tour around the last
market, Sheila and I stopped by a jewelry stand at the gypsy market and bought some eclectic pieces. We then headed back to the central
market to eat; they have a special tripe and brisket sandwich with green sauce that is delicious. The market also has an upstairs area full of little restaurants and a small Eataly store. Brittany and I are now back in our apartment after class trying to be proactive about schoolwork but failing miserably.
