Your article brought back so many memories of my first time in Florence! I will be thinking of you as I walk those beautiful streets alone & dine at Cibreo Caffe solo. Oh, how I wish we were there at the same time! 😘😘
Yay! Hope to see you soon. Come anytime to swim and have lunch. I know that you have plenty of folks that want to see you so when you all have a moment, let us know. 👏🏻👏🏻😃
What a mouth-watering luscious read! I certainly wish that I had met you BEFORE I spent time in Firenze...I would have loved to try a couple of your restaurant suggestions. This piece brought back many happy memories of my all too brief visits. Missing you all especially when we are in North Beach! Ciao!
Just loved reading about your recent visit to Florence.I definitely plan to visit the Brancacci Chapel
on my next trip to Florence and to eat at Cibrero too ...'Complimenti!'
Really enjoyed seeing the delightful photos too and also of your beautiful daughter. I recently went to see the Fra' Filippo and Filippino Lippi exhibit at the Capitoline Museum in Rome too
Ciao Aline! I also saw the Capitoline exhibition! You will love the Brancacci chapel then. And send me a photo of your smile once you make it to Cibreo! Sending huge hugs to you and thanks for always reading me and writing me! ❤️🙌🙏
Just found a second quition I like:As Gustave Flaubert once wrote, “I spent the morning putting in a comma and the afternoon removing it.”
Your writing is always inspirational. Your seight is positive, unique and sensible. Thank you for giving away your writing in prol of posting short stories. 🙏
I love your kindly insights about tourists across time, how we all have our moments of wonder in due course. My favorite author is MFK Fisher and your experiences with thoughtful, attentive waiters making you feel welcome as a solo diner mirrors many stories of hers. And always the vein of Northern California connects you to strangers in unexpected ways… love your voice! Thank you.
