Ale Viola!!! Forza Fiorentina!

This morning Nicole and I went to the outdoor market by the stadium so I can do a little grocery shopping for vegetables and fruit and such. I LOVE shopping for groceries this way! Anyways, on our way back, we saw all these people wearing purple (the AC Fiorentina color) lined up at the stadium entrance. Naturally, we wanted to find out what was going on, so we walked over there and asked an old man what the commotion was about and we found out that a new player was signing on to join the team and they had this huge ceremony to welcome him...SO fun! I don't know exactly who he was, but he sure was a very handsome Italian soccer player, and that's what matters, right? Ha ha.

Too bad I didn't have my camera with me....

i came across your blog by accident. I am half-florentine and I have a cousin who lives walking distance from the Franchi stadium. I had the good fortune to accompany him to one of the games, he is a HUGE fan! I mean fanatic. He chain-smokes through the game and strips his fingernails by chewing on them. I've never seen anything like that.

One of the traditions for the games is to get 'lampredotto' (tripe sandwich) before the game from one of the food vendors. It may sound awful to Americans but it is really, really good. Especially if you have them put pepper and some hot sauce on it. Served on a crusty roll, perfect especially on a cold day or night.

I don't know if you are still in bella Firenze but I hope you are enjoying it or did enjoy it very much. I miss it very much, I virtually grew up there.
