Dropping By for Dinner


Eric & Susan Storey, nella cucina, 16 Maggio, 2012.
I don't often have friends or acquaintances who are randomly in Firenze, but my colleague Susan Storey and her husband Eric were in Italy; they were at the Festival del Fundraising (Susan presented), and they were travelling through Firenze on their way from Venezia to Roma, and then home.  So, I did what any good alien resident would do, I invited them for dinner. I picked them up at their hotel, and we walked the now-familiar streets to my apartment. We had a lovely dinner of salmon and salad, and then we went for a long walk back to their hotel. It was fun having a colleague become a friend; meeting the husband; chatting about almost everything, and then showing off my adopted city.
