A very busy Thursday here in Firenze. I will let Nana provide the details of her day with Joseph - they are incredible traveling companions! I foresee many trips for them in the future. Joseph screeches and screams when he sees Nana in the morning after he wakes up - almost as if to say "Hey - that's my buddy!". So sweet.
We had a very successful day at the American Trench table at Pitti. Lots of incredible connections and conversations ... so many things to be thankful for with this incredible adventure. I'm grateful to Jacob & David for letting me be a part of it. My Italian skills are definitely being tested but I LOVE IT!
I was able to meet Mom & Joseph for lunch today at Ciro & Sons near the Medici Chapel - we both had pizza and it was delicious! Then we met back at the apartment before heading out to dinner. We did a load of wash too - the washer is perched at the top of 5 steep steps behind a curtain. A bit treacherous!
We met Jacob at a restaurant near his apartment - I Toscano. It was very good. We shared some grilled vegetables and white beans as our antipasti and then Mom & I both had spinach gnudi that were DIVINE! We had some lemon & chocolate torte for dessert. So delicious!
On our walk back to our apartment, I was admiring some men's shoes and happened to run into the shop owner as they closed. The shop is VIAJIYU and the owners are American & Australian. We struck up a great conversation and they may end up working on a project with us in the future. I love the way this business works!
Tomorrow we will depart from Firenze and head to Siena. I am so glad that Mom has gotten to know Italy through the eyes of Firenze but cannot wait to share with her my home away from home in Siena. We will take the afternoon train and check into our next AirBNB.
Ciao a presto e buona notte!
