Last morning in Florence

After four incredible days in Florence we had one last morning to take in a few sights before heading off to Siena.  First on the agenda was to head up to San Miniato al Monte and Piazzale Michelangelo.  If you thought the views from the Boboli gardens were nice, the views from San Miniato is really where all the postcard shots come from.

Our main goal for today though was to get a panino (sandwich) from Pino at Salumeria Verdi.  As we walked down from Piazzale Michelangelo all I could think about was the exciting lunch ahead of me.  I ate lunch at Pino's at least three times a week when I studied in Florence and somehow he actually remembered me :). I got my usual: pesto, tomato, mozzarella and turkey on focaccia bread, toasted.  We also shared some fresh baked pasta.  It may sound simple but I promise it was spectacular.
