Day 26 Cooking Class then we left Florence for Paris 😪

We took a fantastic cooking class this morning!  A 4 hour pizza making class!  We made the dough, 2 different kinds, one with butter and one with olive oil.  We made pizzette, or mini pizzas with the dough with butter, then made pizza with the olive oil dough. The instructor also made a simple dough for fried pizza dough, YUM!  She also made a simple, almost tempura like batter and we had fried zucchini flowers!  Those are amazing!!  We have so much zucchini in Northern Michigan in particular, how come I never see the flowers?  We could make magical things with those!!  Even Crepes!  Anyway, the dough we made was so easy and delicious, it almost had a pie crust quality to it. We are ready to try a pizza night at That French Place sometime this winter!  Who's interested???  We could definitely do pizza classes, that's for sure! We already made pizza a lot for ourselves, now, with our improved, authentic, straight from Italy dough recipe, we feel ready for unleashing it on the world!! LOL. Like I said, it was a really great class!  Check the pictures, the pizzas were gorgeous!  It was only a 4 person class so it was very hands on, perfect for us!!  After that, we went back to our apartment, took a little nap, showered then packed up to leave. Leaving Florence was really hard!  Emily cried! 😔 it's one of those special places to us now that we will always dream of those 6 magical days we spent there!  In the evenings, after dinner, we watched a miniseries on YouTube about the Medicis and that really gave us a the knowledge that made what we were seeing that much more meaningful. All in all, that was about as good as it gets for traveling!  We waited for our train for 2 hours at the station in Florence. We got there early, just so we wouldn't have to worry and rush, then our train was 30 minutes late!  We have a connection in Milan, but we were assured that they will wait for us, and they did!  Just barely!!!  We had to sprint to get to our car and when we got there, we were so hot from running, it made for a rough start, late at night, sweating, hot car. Should make for a fun night!!!  LOL. And no internet, so for the first time in a month I won't be able to get the blog up until the next day. 😡. Oh well. At least we made the train in time to sleep. Goodnight all. Thanks for following our journey, some days are easy, some are hard, and some start easy, then get really hard at the very end, like this one. It's always an adventure and I wouldn't trade that for anything!  Now, Emily, she didn't like sleeping on the train so much, but I loved it!
