Three weeks ago (yes it's a long time), Ian and I hopped on a train and went to Turino! After a loooong train ride, we finally arrived at 12:30AM. We woke up early on Thursday and spent the day touring the city- we went to the Egyptian museum, where they had the largest selection of egyptian artifacts in the world next to the Cairo museum (very coo!!!) Then we headed over to the largest gourmet market in Europe called EATALY! it was AMAZING! we spent a good 3 hours there checking out all the different stands and trying about every kind of cheese ever made! We ate lunch there and the dessert was insane! Ian had a cup of liquid chocolate and I had a mini pastry!
The next morning we took a train and met David and Jodi in Montreux (the French part of Switzerland). We stayed in the Montreux Palace and it was beautiful! We had a balcony overlooking the Geneva river and the snow-covered alps! We ate at the most amazing restaurant the first night and had fondoodie the second night!!
I am hating myself right now because it's been so long I can't even remember the name of the towns we went to, but I know we drove up the west coast of Switzerland and we hit Geneva and Lucca? Anyway, we had a wonderful time wining and dining, shopping and sightseeing! We all came back to Florence on Sunday and we spent the week taking a cooking class, traveling to Chinqua Terra and other great places in Italy!
Donna and Glenn (gregs parents) were here with us too and we had an amazing week filled with inappropriate comments (JODI!!), great food and lotttts of love :)
