Dine With Me in Florence on Eve #3

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

It’s my third evening in Florence, I’m all dressed up and definitely have somewhere to go!

WARNING: The following pictures are rated R (for ravenous!) – which is exactly how I felt by the time we arrived at L’Acqua Cheta Ristorante for dinner!

There just happened to be a beautiful couple in front of me entering the restaurant at the same time I was. Got any guesses who they might be?

The Wine Country in Tuscany – Day 3 of Italian Bliss

You’re on vacation with me, so, time to wake up early and listen.

And after Paolo’s home brew of Italian espresso for the morning, we dress and take a trip to see the Wine Country. Our first stop takes us to a hilltop fortress, a city called . . .

Florence Day 2

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

It’s Day 2 in Florence, and I’m slowly discovering that my daughter, Krosbie has opened my eyes to life. The choices your child makes can be exactly what a parent needs to grow and expand.

Here we are strolling in her backyard, talking about how Italy presents a totally different way of thinking, of reacting, of observing everyday things, when all of a sudden I see an ordinary yet confusing sight in nature.

NEVER have I seen such a sight. Can you tell me what it is? If so, send me an email at   rich@nurturemybody.com and win a $10 Gift Certificate!

Florence, Italy – My First Evening

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

A little refreshment, a change of clothes, and I’m off to see why my daughter, Krosbie, has fallen in love with Florence.

It’s late afternoon/early evening and first, here’s a quick peek at the school she is attending, called CAPA, which stands for The Centers for Academic Programs Abroad. They have rented a building to hold their classes in, and the school is for American students wanting to study abroad.

I had a rare opportunity to actually sit in my daughter’s Italian class as a local Italian Professor taught the language. You should have been a mouse in the corner watching a beaming Father so proud of the #1 student in the class!

What a place to study art!

We walked everywhere. And THIS you’d never see in your home town!

Italy As You’ve Never Seen Nor Heard Before – Day 1

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

And the time has come for me to place family over our company. I have been invited by my daughter, Krosbie, to come visit her while she is attending a study abroad program in Florence, Italy. I shall be journalizing my wondrous trip and sharing it with you.

And as I settle into the luxury of Air France, leaving from Seattle, WA to Paris, with a final destination of Pisa, Italy, I must say that the menu that tickled my palate was surprisingly tasty. And, since I haven’t traveled in over 3 decades, I learned that I could have all the wine I wanted for free!
