Goodbye to Florence


Well, we are off to the train station to go to Rimini for 2 days. Our last morning in Florence was full of packing (can we really fit all this stuff in the 2 new suitcases we bought?) and then caffe, caffe and more caffe. We went to the corner to the shop where Anna always has breakfast but she was not there. We had a caffe and went to our favorite shop in the market to have another and say
good-bye to Benita, the proprietress. We shared a piece of freshly made apricot tart and then she brought us out a piece of chicken liver pate on toast. Not exactly breakfast food, but it was the best we have had yet. We wandered through the vendors stalls on the way back to our room and when we returned, Marco invited us to breakfast. We walked to the other corner and had caffe and a pastry with Marco. So now we are all caffein'ed up and ready to haul our very heavy bags to the train station. Ciao ciao Florence...we will miss you!
