Day 10: Florence
We started the day with a major bummer: Bradley left for home bright and early, which makes me really sad. I miss him already and I'm jealous that he gets to see our pooch and smoosh his little Louie face. There are a ton of dogs in Europe, by the way, and people bring them everywhere with them. We have FaceTimed with Lou a couple times to make us (me) feel better... but I digress. Anyway, I miss my husband a lot. Today's drizzly, cold weather matched the gloominess of Bradley's ...
Day 9: Florence
... so we didn't go in. Hopefully it will be less crowded during the week. We kept going until we got to Ponte Vecchio, which is a 13th-century bridge with shops and restaurants all along it. What a neat place!!! We really loved it. We waked over the bridge, ate some gelatto, window shopped and pined over $350 leather jackets and $2,500 necklaces.

Dinner was unbelievable. Nikki cooked a huge pasta feast for the villa's landlord and his wife, and they contributed a ton of meat cooked on a traditional barbecue. We had pasta, asparagus, melon with prosciutto, salad, turkey, ribs, and three different kinds of dessert. Oh, and plenty of wine and champagne. ...
Art, Food, and Fun in Florence
... Plus we had a few glasses of wine. Everything was easy but I don't have the upper body strength to roll out the pasta dough. I think those Italian Mamas have me beat there -- In true American form, I need a Kitchen Aid. At the end of class the Chef asked me out for that evening. I didn't have anything to do so that worked for me.
He picked me up on his motor bike which was good because I got to see more of the city with really great views. After we ate and had ...
