On the first night we were in Florence, way back in September when we were taking Caitie to drop her off at school, the three of us had dinner at a neighborhood trattoria called Brincello. Although many of the guests at the ten or so tables were foreigners, the staff was obviously Italian. They called out to each other loudly over the heads of the guests charming all of us that could not understand what they were saying about us. Caitie ate there with us a few times on our first visits to Florence and Mike and I ate there a few times on our own. Tonight we returned and were greeted like long lost family. How wonderful to have the waiters recognize us and wonder where we have been, hug us and give us the double cheek kisses. It was wonderful.
We leave on the 7:52 AM train tomorrow morning for Rome, to catch our flight to Barcelona at noon. We have enjoyed seeing Caitie, having a chance to visit with her and her friends, and will move on sadly but with the expectation that reunion is only two weeks away.
Tomorrow night I will write again from Spain.
Ciao,
Deanne

Hi! I'm so happy you enjoyed your visit with Caitie. It's been a while since I've logged on and ROLF (that's the correct acronym, I hope)at your experience on the ship! What a hoot!! Anyway, just thinking about you and sending my love. Hope to talk with you during your brief trip back to PS. Have fun and be safe! Love you!!
thanks for the note, Susie. We were thinking our audience had disappeared. ROLF sort of discribes our experience on the ship. Our bargain cruise that was a huge bargain. Oh well, we have time to waste on $35 a day cruises. We will call you when we hit PS. Until then, Love, Me
