Okay... so I am sooo frustrated... last night I had written THE BEST entry all about how Firenze is in my heart... what I learned about life living here 11 years ago... and on and on and on... maybe a little too much ... and then my computer died... and I lost my adapter... ahhhh, well maybe it's a blessing... I did write a bit... and get a little mooshy...  no one probably would have wanted to read all of it anyways...   (it was defintely longer than most entries if you can believe it)

so I'll  just leave it at.. Florence will always be in my heart and this trip just solidifies it more...  I feel at home here walking the streets it makes me stop and take a deep breath and feel alive!

SO a quick recap of yesterday ...  zipping around Roma in Giuseppe's fast little convertable... a beautiful train ride through the country... and then.. FIRENZE  where my dear friend Nadia (11 years ago she took me to get my nose pierced) picked me up and took me to her "straight out of the movies" veranda for a homemade lunch of pasta and wine... a quick tour of the city via scooter...  and then an evening dinner (at 11:30 p.m.) overlooking the city with a group of Italians... discussing life, love, and well... does anything else matter...



Note.. .my impersonation of Eric Estrada  ala CHIPS with my hot scooter helmet ...  and the last pic is a view from my terrace where I stayed...  man am I lucky... not bad for couch surfing.. eh?!?!
