It was Independence Day for us expatriates, so we got together with some other
Americans who decided to take group photographs
until the rain came. The Italian dogs thought that celebrating meant getting into our car
until Michael could coerce them
into leaving.
All this discussion made us hungry so we walked up
to Centanni's
where Jane
Lucy
Caroline
Michael
Suzanne
Benjamin
David
and Sarah
had insalata mista
ricotta ravioli with spinaci e ragu
proscuito e melone
and some unidentified pasta dishes
that we managed to finish
to the satisfaction of our waiter
After lunch, Lucy and Jane did their rabbit performance
and read the Italian newspaper
after which we made our way to see this girl
who gave us tasty gelato at cheap prices.
We spent the rest of the afternoon sitting around the pool too mellow to engage and photography. Dinner was at a pizzeria in Bagno a Ripoli but unfortunately we forgot to bring the camera so you will have to imagine how the very sweet waiter looked and what happened in the park after dinner.
