So in the past few days, we left behind the false summer and time-traveled back to early spring. It’s rainy and cool and that’s okay because we desperately need the rain around here. Along with the heat, there were wind and fire warnings.
Bring on the rain. (And the writing: it’s a good excuse to stay inside.)
Speaking of rainy days, here’s a view of a couple from Florence:
The Ponte Vecchio is always amazing, even in the rain (and it was raining, hard).
Il Caffe del Verone is on the top floor of the Istituto degli Innocenti. This view, even in the rain. So worth it. Also, the cappuccino didn’t hurt.
Writing Wrongs 
We’ve had a few rainy days as well (and fortunately avoided the tornadoes and power outages that accompanied them in other nearby areas) and I’ve been glad to see a resounding end to what I feared was possibly a dry spring. Always a good time for writing and dreaming…
I also love your cappuccino with the blooming (ballooning?) heart in the foam. And that lovely pastry? I’d expect nothing less from an Italian cafe!
