Every walk shows me something new.

I love the art deco font used to advertise this bakery.

I have a favorite old and still old-fashioned bar in the historic center of Florence. Yes, there are now 2 Starbuck’s in Florence, but I wouldn’t go to them if you paid me. I like the classics and the Italian classics most of all.

I stop by this bar almost every time I walk by it, which is at least several times a day. I love how busy it is; I love listening to the din of the employees waiting on customers; I love the creamy cappuccino they make to order. I hope this custom never dies.

This bar/pasticceria has an interesting history.

There was a poster for Valentine’s Day in Florence that I didn’t see until after the day. But it’s a cool poster and I wanted to show it to you!

Here’s another tabernacle, not far from my home. I’d love to know more about it, but the only sign I could find talks about the modern glass that has been placed in it. 🙁

As I was walking and saw the sign for this flower shop, I thought, am I in France?

My camellia shrub is still blooming its heart out and I had to take a picture with it!

Below, my home in the evening. Look at that tall fire!
