This morning we left Florence for the quaint little town of San Miniato. It is a beautiful little town just west of Florence. We visited a local butcher shop where they make their own salamis and sausages from local meats and ingredients.
After tasting some of their products we headed to lunch at a traditional slow food restaurant. We had a delicious four course meal. The traditional slow food movement uses only local ingredients to make their food and follows the guidelines in accordance with the slow food movement. We also had an olive oil tasting which included tips for picking out a good extra virgin olive oil.
After lunch we headed to Bologna where we had the afternoon and evening to ourselves to explore the city. I of course went shopping and explored the downtown area.
