Tuesday - Day 68

Somewhat lazy morning today enjoying the A/C and it’s supposed to only be a high of 88° today and the next few days. I’ll meet Nan and two of her friends for lunch today somewhere downtown.

The friends didn’t show, but we had a nice lunch in Piazza della Repubblica at Café Galli – whose placemat says ‘Since 1733’. Nan was getting her 2nd booster today, so we cabbed it back to her doctor, then strolled back to her place, and I asked to see the famous gloves that she had mentioned she still has for aver 50 years, and here’s that story:

Nan was in Italy with her friend Lynda after they graduated from the University of Wisconsin. When they were in      Firenze, Nan bought a pair of gloves from this guy, Mauro, who was working at a leather stall in San Lorenzo market during the summer to make money. She was smitten by him, and asked him out – she actually asked him to meet up later that evening. He balked initially, but she persevered and they ended up connecting. She left Europe to come home; they corresponded for two years, and finally got together for good.

Nan asked if I wanted to go to Tonfano with her on Thursday – and you betcha!
