Getting ready, really getting ready. I’m going minimal this time, really minimal. Simple; five shirts, two pairs of pants, two pairs of shoes, one dress, one sweater, one coat, one jacket. I don’t need to impress anyone with a variety of outfits because my social life consists of lunch with two different friends; that’s it. Sounds so simple, so why am I telling you this? Because you have taken too much on some trip or other. I’m sure of it.You get my point.
I’ll be in Florence for twelve nights this time, staying in the same apartment complex as in November, but this time in an apartment fully facing the Duomo--no side view. Since I’m planning to eat in more this time, my first stop will be the Mercato Centrale for lettuce, fruit, bread, olive oil and maybe a pre-cooked pasta dish. I’m not into cooking, although my sister-in-law loved doing so when she was in Florence last spring. I’ll see how it goes.
I’m ready to settle into living in the city more as a citizen than a tourist this time. On my other recent visits I was working on Very Grateful, the book about my mom, which left me both focused and distracted.
Oh, I have some writing projects in mind, but I can work leisurely. OR, not write at all.
