jere7myWe are just arrived in Florence, where the internet flowers in the hotel rooms. Hooray! I just saw the bells of San Lorenzo ringing outside the window — heard them, too, but they are right there to see, and with a good arm I could probably hit the bells with a rock. Watching them jounce around is surprisingly fun. There are four, swinging at different rates and sounding with different tones. The red-tiled dome of the Medici Chapel is perfectly framed in the window from my seat, here at the laptop desk.
We are tired and hot, but continually delighted by everything. Last night was a perfect final evening in Rome — excellent dinner at Maccheroni, then gelati from a gelateria near the Trevi Fountain, eaten while moseying up to the top of the Spanish Steps. The domes of Saint Peter's and San Carlo al Corso were illuminated and very nearly along a straight line from our vantage point. Awfully glad to be here with la mia moglie.
