Since I was here in March, much is back to normal in Florence: no masking up; no showing vaccine cards; easier entry to churches and museums; tourists and natives are walking the city with joy and ease.
And there are some changes, too. Prices on food and drink have gone up—a cappuccino by 10 cents a cup. Of course the euro has moved in my favorite. One euro now equals one dollar, not $1.20. I figure it all equals out; I’m happy to help the economy.
But one thing hasn’t changed: I’m grateful to be here, to walk around with joy.
