desire to travel

Although I love the change of seasons in Germany, as  soon as the weather starts getting really ugly, I dream about travelling away. Far away. To a place where the sun always shines, where the nights are warm and full of exotic flavours and where people  live outdoor most of the time...

a splendid foretaste of summer

Lately I spent an awesome time with my daughter in Florence. We were strolling around all day long, visiting palazzi, museums and fashion shops, sunbathing on roof terraces,  and, as a special challenge, we never ate twice in the same place! I swear to you I hadn't been served so simple and so delicious meals in a long time... salads, grilled vegetables, carpacci, gelati, BIFTECA A LA FIORENTINA, panini, capuccini....just paradise!
So, if you agree, I'm going to dedicate my next posts to Florence and to the delights of Tuscan cuisine.

And here, my dear readers, comes the aperitivo:

 roofs of the old town

so ripe and colourful and inviting to stop by

Santa Croce, my favourite church

Piazza della Repubblica, from the roof terrace of the department store La Rinascente 

subject of big interest: the "love locks" at Ponte Vecchio

yoghurt, strawberries and pine nuts for breakfast
