Great panini shop
Anabel went to Georgetown University which "just happened" to have an extension school here in Florence told Sue on Facebook that this panini shop in Santa Croce area of Florence was the place to eat . . . she was right!

Florence townhall
Every town should have a city hall like this Palazzo Vecchio built in 1299. This was the view from our apartment overlooking Piazza de Signoria – where the original "David" stood from early 1500 to late 1800 and a concert occurred every night . . . which was great for cheap entertainment, not so good for going to bed early .

My secret life
Someday I’m going to start receiving royalties from this side business I started "years ago" so I can live in a loft in Florence, write my obscure novels, sell them in my bookstore, and live happily ever after . . .

Italian diet program
This was the elevator going to our first apartment in Florence. One person and two pieces of luggage . . . or two people and no dogs, cats, or politicians.
