Dear Italy,
In six short days, you gave me renewed perspective and a lot of fun. I had time to think and to own a few things:
- I am too old to tan and I need sunscreen (often)
- It is okay to get lost
- I like reading water with my lunch on holiday
- I will wear red while everyone else wears grey
- I am clumsy
- Ice cream/gelatto/froyo at any time of the day is never a bad idea
- Talking with strangers gets you the most unexpected info
- On a trip where walking is my primary transport, I won't use those running shoes I packed
- I can buy a pretty stellar lunch for 5 euros if that is all the cash I have
- I should have ordered an international data plan in advance and I am extremely grateful for the man who back-dated it to save me $$$
- I like to travel and occasionally I like to do so with a little style
- Most shoe sales people will not help you if you are wearing Tretorns...but there will always be one who will
- I don't have to see everything in one trip
- Unexpectedly beautiful works of art when seen in person may make me cry
Today's Friday photo is El Duomo in Firenze taken a few short days ago.
