Chia and I are back in Florence! Covid test in Seattle, New York, JFK and Roma airport, plus fully vaccinated. Tuscany has gone from red zone to orange, so we are free to move about town.

Note to self: wear the compression socks!

The weather is beautiful: cool and sunny. I have a list of things clients want me to shop for and I am hoping that the stores will reopen this week. If not, I can contact them personally and they will open for me. I plan to start zoom shopping tours next week: the goldsmith, the leather store, scarves, etc. Let me know if you want to be included.

My favorite leather store has a new website! You can shop for Il Perseo handbags at the following address: ilperseoleather.com Bravo to Sam for his hard work to do a website! It has been a very difficult time for all the store owners, so I am doing my best to stimulate the Florentine economy. I have my eye on a straw and leather bag for summer.

Chia and I are still recovering from jet lag, and consoling ourselves with yummy pizza!
