How about something other than food: I stayed up last night until 1:30 just to finish a book, The Monster of Florence by Douglas Preston and Mario Spezi. The book is based on the authors' investigation into a serial murderer in the Florence, Italy area, and how they became a part of the story. Preston is a mystery writer, so used that background to weave an intriguing tale of true events. Spezi is an Italian journalist who became an "expert" in all things related to the "Monster" Both authors ended up under investigation, and Spezi was jailed for a period of time. I highly recommend this book.I started this blog in September 2008 when I moved to downtown St. Petersburg, with the comment, “This is just a random, occasionally updated, collection of my musings about what is going on in my world and my new city.” There are probably fewer posts about my “new” city, now. However you can count on a continuation of food, restaurant and travel posts. I hope you enjoy this little journey in my world.
