Warms Days are here to stay...Spero

Everyday this week has been bellissimo!!! I love walking about amongst the tourists and enjoying the day as well. I rode my bike to the center this morning. Down the main Viale past Piazza Donatello, past Piazza Beccaria, and along the Arno. Gorgeous!!! Simply Splendid!! Everything I wished it could be for my upcoming Birthday. It is on Domenica, ma I am spending it on Saturday amongst friends at a bella Pizzeria. So to finish my day, I go to the Uffizi early to sign up for my Amici card, so I can enter museums easily and without waiting. E poi I went to make an appointment for a manicure and pedicure at Jean Louis David, where my friend Oliver works. Fabulous!!!

Then I bought myself a nice dress and shoes to go with it for my night out. Yes I splurge a bit. Oh well, you only live once, right? Might as well Live it UP!!! Poi I visited my friends Raul and Enza at MC and had a quick cappucino and I was off to enjoy the rest of the day by bike. As I was riding I noticed something, driving amongst the cars and amongst pedestrians, really didn't phase me. I was completely at ease when a motorino zipped past me. And THEN I thought 'Ummm, Katie, you are an Italian bike rider' Really??

After I had a quick lunch a casa, I was off with the stroller to pick up picolina Maria. Carolina is off in the mountains this week so it is just me, V, and Maria. Very nice! As we were zipping thru the centro of Firenze and turned the corner of Via Pier Capponi, I had another thought, 'I think I can live here. I mean REALLY live here.' I had to stop the stroller to tie my shoe cuz I felt light headed. WOW!

Anyways, Buona Giornata Domani tutti!!!
