Buongiorno from Firenze

That means Good day from Florence in case you have never heard it before. Things here are spectacular. It is sunny. Buildings are lovely. Gelato is plentiful. Street food is better than french restaurant fare.

We started out in Torino, oogled chocolate and paintings. Then went to the Cinque Terre- a beach town- but it was raining and windy. Left there the next morning while the sun was shining (wanting to cry from disappointment) and made it to Florence. Now we are off to Roma for four days. More later.
I love Europes outrageous eye and footwear.
Yesterday I wanted to be a pigeon so I could fly into the Uffizzi instead of waiting in line.
The coffee here is great.
