iPhones are cool. I want one. Also, stocking sized, so... Am typing on aunt Harris, which makes blogging a bit tiring but I will persevere. Florence was gorgeous! And David is bigger than I remember (har) and just astounding. We found a market with organic local cheeses, ham, wine, olive oil and crafts, so I was in heaven for a bit. Aunt harri was super adventurous and tried the cheeses and hams, and bought a bottle of montipulciano wine. Was so proud. Aunt h and uncle c are proving to be wonderful travel partners, totally laid back and open. Uncle c basically just lopes along behind us and looks either amused, tranquil, or amazed depending on the situation, always completely composed and pleasant, and offering finely tuned 8-word-max observations when needed. Totally chill. Aunt harri is amazingly proficient with decifering and pronouncing Italian, showing great interest in, like, everything: signs, train station announcents, the behaviors of homeless people and their dogs, architecure. V. G. Is fun listening to her point out odds and ends that I fail to notice anymore. We left the apartment at 7:30 this morning and returned 8 hours later after an extremely full day of movement. Is 9 and they are both in bed, and I'm not far behind them. Will find Internet tomorrow and blog properly. Love.

I can vividly picture you 3 stroll around in Florence. Wish i could have been there. When we visited Florence we went by car and regretted it tremendously. There were motor-scooters around us like flies and we were so scared to hit and hurt the drivers on the scooter. So we just dropped our car somewhere in the outskirts and took public transportation.
Have fun and a safe trip back.

Mandi Merecàne, today is the best day of the week but Porchis is not the same without your bullshits "friulano/italiano" and your random "bestemmie"...
