Happy Sunday, Florence.
Of course it's raining.
Of course I was starved.
Of course I overpaid for a mediocre meal.
Of course I'm drinking an Antinori wine (Peppoli, for the record) because Antinori is all they have.
Of course I'm glad to hear Italian spoken all around me.
Of course I'm jetlagged and feel spacy.
Of course Ken stayed at the hotel to nap.
Of course I'll want to crash by nine o'clock.
Of course I'm wearing my allegedly waterproof walking-the-vineyards shoes.
Of course I really didn't want to travel now because it seems every day will feature Vinitaly weather (overcast, gusty, rainy).
Of course I'll be glad to get back to New York.
Of course I'll wish I were in Italy after I get there.
Of course I'm a bundle of idiotic contradictions.
Of course of course / A horse is a horse of course / I am Mister Strapp'.
(Delirious at Cavallino, Piazza della Signoria.)

Vai nell'oltrearno da Carlino o Bordino i meglio Piazza delle Carmina. Mangi una bistecca per me.
Buona domenica e stammi bene are two expressions that just crack me up.
Divertitevi. SG

Comunque, we got to eat very well in Abruzzo. And they put salt in their bread, unlike i maledetti toscani!
