Escape to myself

I’m sitting at the table having my colazione of cereal, yoghurt, fruit and croissant looking at the view of the terrace in Cristina’s apartment… it’s sunny today after yesterday’s rain and the swallows are flying high squealing … they zoom everywhere. The bells of Firenze are ringing out from the churches. It’s one of those idyllic mornings you never think you’ll experience.

Soon I’ll leave for my second class. Yesterday was good and I hope I’ll be able to retain all I learned. I seem to be able to make myself understood for the basics. Yesterday afternoon our trip was to San Lorenzo which I hadn’t visited before. Some interesting Donatello bronzes on the pulpits. Then aperitivo with the four Finns who are great fun. Maybe I’ll pick up a little Finnish too.
