3rd Installment from Florence.
Tuesday 12th Sept 9.17am
I just had the most wonderful breakfast. Croissants, orange juice and chocolattè so dark brown it was almost black. Hmmmmmm!! I'm in heaven. Mum and dad will have to force me to get in the car to drive away from Firenze!!
We watched the sun set over the Ponte Vecchio last night and saw it lit up with all different colour lights. It was so tranquil and beautiful (change: just a bridge for dad and a religious experience for me). We then went to a cute little restaurantè and have a divine tea. The roast potatoes were the best I have ever tasted. I wish they made chewies with THAT flavour. I am really enjoying the food in Italy (much more than France). It is all full of flavour and really fresh.
We are heading off today and will stay in Tuscany tonight then on to Venice. I will try and blog from there before I depart for Egypt.
I am seeing so much that I feel soooooo grateful to have the opportunity to do so.
I have hogged the house internet computer too much already so I must go. Love to you all.

P.S. the Europeans have a facination for Nutella, it is on everything, croissants, in crepes, on pizzas, takes up the most room in the spread section in supermarkets. Just thought you would like to know that.

Chewies in potato flavour? I am not convinced - still that could be because I am jealous of you enjoying potatoes in Florence without me! Oh well. How nice to stay in the one place for a while and really absorb the atmosphere and the culture. I bet you are finding your way around now really well. Good luck with the travelling around to Venice - are you going to have a gondola ride (even though I have heard they are hideously expensive)? Look forward to your next installment. As always, love you. Keep an eye out for a message from Teliah soon. Love and kisses, Haylee.

Really enjoying reading your posts. You've described Firenze really well. We nicknamed the illegal street vendors "the wild bagmen of Firenze" because of all the copy handbags. 8 )
I'm not convinced about the potato flavoured chewies either though! eeyuk! ha ha
I'm really looking forward to reading your thoughts on Venice. It's such an amazing place - hope you have a great time there and in Tuscany.
Love, Sherry and the giggler (Jeff)

Nutella on Pizza, mmmmmmmmm, I never thought to try that, but I am intrigued, I may just have to try it, but I will wait until I have a few more details of what goes with it. That sunset sounds nice, look forward to seeing photos though I know that that can never replace actually being there. I am so glad you are enjoying yourself. Love always and in all ways.
