I've been afraid to say it for fear of jinxing us, but it's finally spring! There have been a few rainy days, but other than that the weather in florence has been incredible. We have started making it a regular part of our day to go to the Boboli gardens (giant Medici garden on a hill overlooking the city center) and sit. This became much more relaxing after I convinced a reluctant R that parks are best enjoyed by lounging in the grass. Now we take a blanket, and R reads and writes in her journal. I alternate between napping and trying to draw sketches for things to paint. Today there were alot of school groups at the gardens and while i was napping R watched some teenage drama where this boy and girl were arguing and eventually she got so worked up she took her shoe off and threw it at him. This is what we look like in spring:
you're so lucky, entire days go by here without me catching sight of the sun. isn't boboli a pizza dough you can buy?
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Nandan. Looks like you are living it up. I'm just now reading through the blog -- this sounds great! (A) I'm jealous, (B) I kind of wish that Rick Steves had a TV show like Throw Down With Bobby Flay so he could challenge you. I would bet on you guys.
ReplyDeletedon't blame us if it rains tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI think I know what garden you are talking about. Is that the place one "David" is?
Enjoy while you can, with out getting sick.
I could at least take rick steves in a fight...not sure if i can out-tourist him though.
ReplyDeleteAai, what you're thinking of is Piazza Michelangelo. I don't think you guys went to Boboli gardens.
