I’m so happy I found pickles (not quite dill, not quite sweet, but better than nothing) here. Of all the things I miss, I never expected it to be dill pickles. But, not to worry; they’re available!

This box on the street spoke to me: do not upset!!

Today’s lesson: how to boss people around (ha ha) with imperativo!

The photo below encapsulates my favorite kind of view in Florence. I love the bars with every good kind of coffee, pastries, sandwiches and all kinds of treats. Humble or ritzy, I love them all!

I noticed this spritely gentleman in the Mercato Nuovo. His face looks like JFK.

And finally, today’s fruits at Mercato San Ambrogio.

I love that Italians sell and buy pesche settembrine. September peaches. What could be better than that!
