Thursday in Firenze

This is the view at sunset from our living room over the Arno. Isn't it beautiful?

Today the weather here has been like Oklahoma...hot and muggy. Must be trying to make us feel like home. Steven and I went to the Pitti Palace this morning to look at the Argentine museum-- a lot of amazing jewelry, cut and engraved glass, gems, etc. Of course this was in a tiny portion of the palace. Steven thought this was Florence's solution to the Louvre. Helen and Lindi went to the palace this afternoon to visit the costume exhibit. They looked out at the Boboli Gardens but did not walk out in it because of the heat.

This afternoon we have been laying around like jellyfish and have finally turned on the air conditioner. Gluttons that we are...

Tonight we are having a typical Tuscan dinner: cool rice, basil, and tomato salad and Fagoli beans with garlic and rosemary. Of course, we have Tuscan bread from the bakery a block away, as well. When will Walmart catch on?

Miss you all. xoxoxoxo Shivani
