Meeting some locals

Today was market day, so I spent some time looking around before moving on to some small local shops where I had lovely conversations in Italian with the store owners.
I returned to the bar Il Buco for lunch and when I asked to try the same dish that the woman next to me had, I was served the delicious Tuscan Pappa al Pomodoro (a wonderful comfort food of tomato, stale bread, strachiatella cheese and fresh anchovies).
The woman (Chiara) kindly asked me to join her at her table and we had a wonderful hour together speaking, mostly in Italian, about food, travel and family.
It was a very special encounter over delicious food, a glass of wine and a coffee.Weiterlesen
