the journal and lessons learned...

There is a tradition here at Hotel Davanzati in Florence.. each of the 20 rooms has a leather bound journal on a desk.. and you are invited to write your thoughts about your stay in Florence and this wonderful hotel..

it makes for good reading.. glancing through the pages and the thoughts of people that have been in room 205 over the years.. "we could not have asked for more" one couple commented....there are well wishes for future guests of this room..in many languages..making the room itself feel alive..

so today I wrote in the journal of the room 205 at Hotal Davanzati.. my thanks for such a wonderful visit.  As I wrote my thoughts.. my mind wandered through the moments of the week... and it's lessons which I will share..

the most important things in Italy are a good umbrella and good shoes
you cannot taste all the wonderful flavors of gelato in one week ~ or maybe ever
you can become family in a moment
that it doesn't matter how many years you are married.. when your souls have been together forever
pizza for one is really pizza for two
that each and every day you learn more about life ~ don't waste it ~ taste everything

Ciao ~
