How much I miss Florence. I miss so many things, my friends, my dog, the light. Last night I watched the sunset over Il Cestello on this webcam and a few tears came out. Just writing about it chokes me up. I think of crossing the Ponte Santa Trinità with my litle Jack Russell Lira and stopping to see the sun go down reflecting itself in the Arno, the warm colored buildings while. I crossed the Arno on my way home from work.
It's been 5 months since I was last there over looking those beautiful reflections in the Arno and meeting friends for a aperativo at La Dolce Vita or going to Giogoli to hang out, three more months to go before I see it again. Paris is growing on me but no place will steal my heart like Florence has.
Big sigh.

It is hard to miss places we love. They become so dear to us, just like people. I bet it will be wonderful to bring your baby to Florence to visit!! Nothing like Italians and kids.

I can imagine how hard it must have been for you, to leave so much behind. And Florence really DOES get a grip on one's heart. I keep telling myself that when I travel to Italy, I must seek out new places and experiences, but I do long to return to Florence....

Angie, it must be really hard having to leave a place you love. I never got over Hawaii when I moved to Washington for two years. At least you will get back for a visit soon.
