A Florentine Morning

In Florence....



....cyclamen are very much in season.........


.....as are green cauliflower......


.......I want to eat every single type of pasta.....


 .....but the bread tends to be a bit plain (on purpose, so it doesn't conflict with the taste of other things).

 The shop owner was intent on his paper.
I pretended to be taking photos of the stuff in the window. Oh well.

Lunch at a vinio.  Parma ham on foccacia and lots of local red wine. Yum.

  4. Elizabeth, you have such a great eye to catch the mood and the character of a city and its people... you did it with Morocco and here you are again with New York. I love New York, it is a very colorful and a giant city...

  8. You are braver than me, I get embarrassed taking photos in shops etc. Even felt bad taking photos of teas on market stall in Cambridge.
