Secret Bakery, the David, and blueberry steak!

Buona sera.  It's been a little while but i have lots to update on.  I am loving florence.  I've done a lot in the past few days.  This was an expensive weekend to say the least but the food was absolutely amazing.  Friday night was went to a restaurant called "I tredici gobbi" right down our street which is renowned for its famous rigatoni.  The rigatoni was absolutely delicious.  The waiters were great too.  Our waiter was hysterical, he kept making fun of us by saying "ahrighht" in a fake american accent.  It sounds stupid but it was really funny.  The next day, I woke up, walked along the ponte vecchio and then went to the accademia gallery and saw the david.  It was really cool.  I was literally staring at it for a good 10 minutes.  Really spectacular.  Then i walked down near the duomo and stumbled upon an open fresh food market which offered samples.  So that was my lunch for the day ha.  That night i went to an AMAZING restaurant called "Aqua al due."  It was literally the best meal of my life.  We ordered a bunch of samplers and then i tasted some blueberry steak.  I was still full when i woke up the next morning but it was so worth it.  Forgot to mention that on friday night after we went out we found "the secret bakery."  It's called the secret bakery because the start selling the pastries at 12 until 6 in the morning and don't have a license to do so.  So they have to keep it really secret.  We met some italians at the club we were at and on a whim i told them to take us to the secret bakery and then they actually took us!  It was creepy.  But the pastries were really good.  Anyways i've got to run now so this post is going to sort of stop abruptly.  P.s. i'm going to prague 2 weekends from now.  Wooo
