Foto from yesterday’s market tour in Florence
I adore markets,taking trains and day-tripping. It is a fabulous way to take mini-vacations without spending a fortune. I am on my way to combine all three!
We are heading to Bologna to check out the Slow Food Market there on Saturday mornings and the cooking school Amici di Babette for my Fall Slow Food tour with Jasper from Kansas City and Travels with Taste.
So now a quick review of places to go and things to do that I have not gotten to see before or to check out other friends recommendations.
Here are a couple of things I want to do in my over-night trip:
- getting my Buon Ricordo plate in Bologna
- Seeing the Slow Food Market, Mercato della Terra and meeting teachers from Amici di Babette
- Finding a flea market
- Seeing the new EATALY ( was not open last time I was there)
- Meeting with new virtual friends ( Carmelita, cooking teacher) and Slow Travel Friend Palma and fotographer Alessandro
- Eating gelato at David Lebovitz’s favorite in Bologna
- Aperitivo at Gamberini ( Carmelita says BEST BUFFET)
- Shopping for food to bring home- tortellini, salumi, etc
From previous visits I already have a huge list of places I love- and with new friends new places get added all the time.
