Dario Cecchini’s Officina della Bistecca Steak Workshop
Posted on May 2, 2012 | 22 CommentsWhen I'm asked what kind of food I like the best I usually say Italian which to me is foodie code for "simple, great food". True Italian cuisine takes the freshest possible in-season ingredients and obsessively prepares it as simply as possible to highlight natural flavors. If you want to try this with steak then you have to check out the Officina della Bistecca run by famous butcher Dario Cecchini in Panzano Italy. -
![After eating Lampredotto at the market, my second favorite thing that I did in Florence was to visit the Museo Galileo [www.museogalileo.it]. Florence is most well known for its museums that house classic sculptures and works of art, but if historical artifacts mean more to you than classical art, then the Galileo Museum in Florence is an absolute can't miss.](http://averagetraveller.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1543-115x115.jpg "Museo Galileo – Galileo Museum in Florence Italy")

Travel Photo Thursday: Volterra Italy
Posted on April 27, 2011 | 19 CommentsI'd been wanting to go back to Italy for a slower trip following the Mediterannean cruise that we took a couple of years earlier. I wasn't too sure that it would actually happen until Mrs A|T discovered the Twilight books and decided that she needed to visit Volterra in Italy. While we started the day chasing down fictional landmarks from the books, we finished up by exploring the ruins on an old Roman theatre. -
Travel Photo Thursday: Roman Street Food
Posted on March 9, 2011 | 10 CommentsThis Travel Photo Thursday shot was taken on our whirlwind 5-hour tour of Rome as part of a Mediterranean cruise. Most of my shots are pretty standard tourist fare, but for some reason I really like this one of chestnuts on a street cart. -
Day 8 (Part 2) London and Italy: Acetaia Villa San Donnino
Posted on March 4, 2011 | No CommentsAfter loading up on cheese, the next stop on our tour was at Villa San Donnino to check out a small Acetaia - an independant balsamic vinegar operation
![Don't try to see the zoo in a day. The zoo has 9 different animal zones and covers 100 acres in Balboa Park. If you only have one day to spend there you won't be able to see everything, especially if you have kids in tow. To make sure that you don't leave disappointed, check out the San Diego Zoo website before you show up and come up with a list of must-see attractions. Once you know what you want to see check out the online Park Map [sandiegozoo.org] to come up with a rough plan of attack.](http://averagetraveller.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_0597-36x36.jpg "San Diego Zoo Tips and Tricks"){kind=small}
