We journeyed from Trieste to Florence by direct train for our last evening before our flight. It's been an awesome time and living here for almost three months has given perspective. You can focus on the things right in front of you, or on the larger picture. Sometimes both at the same time. This is our last gelato and walk along the river.
I didn't ever tire of the view of the Ponte Vecchio
Here's our last lunch by the Duomo.
and my last cappuccino before our flights
Travel is a privilege I don't take for granted. One of my favorite quotes by Mark Twain is about travel. "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness". He believed that experiencing different cultures and people is essential for a person's growth and the development of a more charitable and open-minded worldview.
He also said, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore."
Until next time Italy - friends, please enjoy one last stroll of Street Art
