What’s not to love about Florence?  We had a fabulous two weeks!  What did we learn?  Here is what we collectively agreed we take away from our Italy experience…

1) ART: A greater respect for the arts!  Try to live/experience/appreciate art and architecture everyday!

2) FASHION: Be more fashionable instead of just wearing basketball shorts everyday :)  We were blown away by everyone wearing stylish shirts, long pants and   super high heels in the blistering heat!

3) FOOD:  Shopping every morning for that day’s food is more fun than buying a weeks worth of food at once, and you also end up eating more fresh and healthy items!

4) BREAKFAST: Salami, cheese, bread and fruit is actually an awesome alternative for breakfast!

5) Cities can tackle recycling and do it well!

Recycling center right on street in Florence! They had them every 1/2 mile!

    I am so jealous of the fabric stores. Why don’t you buy a small piece of a textile in each country and we can make a memory quilt when you come home!!

      You read our mind; but we need 6 quilts :-) first 3 meters of fabric acquired!!! We’ll be searching in Greece!
