Florence – Snack Time. Grom Gelato and Eataly

It's been a long day. Just a quick post for this evening……

Having a nice meal puts you such great state of mind. Everything just looks better…..

Besides the fact this was Florence……

At this time of the night, Piazza della Signoria was quite relaxed at this time of the evening. A far cry from the day time crowds. Though folks (like me) were still out taking photos.

Though the shadows made some of the statues in Loggia dei Lanzi look kind of creepy at night.

As we approached Piazza del Duomo, the Missus decided She wanted some gelato. So we stopped by the nearby Grom Gelato Shop.

I realize Grom is a chain with locations in LA, NYC, and if I recall even Japan.

But the Missus said this was pretty darn good.

I'll take Her word for it.

The views of the Duomo and Baptistry probably made it taste even better.

Speaking of chains; the Missus wanted to check out the Florence location of Eataly. We visited the Copenhagen location last year and the Missus really enjoyed Herself.

On the way there we saw these street musicians.

They were really good. But what made things great was the little Pinocchio on a string that danced along to the music….it had better rhythm than me!

We ended up getting a pretty decent bottle of red wine and a nice snack to share.
