Today we went in search of one of Carmen's tripe stands. This one served 'nervetti', which are beef tendons. Alas we never found it. But by accident we came upon Santa Croce, a great mass of a church with a statue of Dante outside. Who puts a writer like Dante outside of a church? Inside it was chock full of the famously dead. I've combined the tombs of Galileo (on the left) and Michaelangelo (on the right) onto one photo. Machievelli is there, as is Rossini, as well as paintings by Giotto's and Taddeo Gaddi. Good stuff.
After what Carmen called a light lunch: mozzarella and grilled vegetables and salad nicoise, we did manage to find Vivoli, a renowned gelateria, where we indulged in two scoops each. Carmen's chocolate with pepperocino was the best.
At first I thought Carm had 2 bowls of tripe...then I looked closer. I think there is an 800 number for those addicted.....(when she comes home)
