Florence IV: Sugar, Spice, & Everything Nice
Today I decided to do a Florence walk following the *Rick Steves Audio-guide tour. I started with the Duomo which I finally got to see in full for the first time and ended up circling around the church before I found the starting point. It is beautiful but I did not end up entering the […]

Florence III: Opening Night Cont’d
New Generation Festival-Night I I find the second half of the opera to be much more enjoyable than the first and once the show ends, I go in search of the restroom. When I come out, I make my way to the room where a Jazz band is set up for the next phase of […]

Nice Again: Promenade & MAMAC
Back in Nice! I arrived in Nice this morning and I’m staying with V. It was so awesome seeing her and catching up with her. The first order of business was breakfast, which I enjoyed on her lovely balcony, while we chatted about everything. My heart was so filled with joy. I’d really missed her. […]
