LA...proved too much for the man...
With the purchase of my first pair of Salvatore Ferragamo shoes, I have officially become Florentine. From a humble beginning as a cobbler to megamillionaire shoe and clothing designer, Ferragamo is one of the defining aspects of this city. The castle that holds his store here speaks to that.
I can see myself slowly adapting to life here. My hands move more when I speak. I'm more likely to respond in Italian than in English now. I know the cuss words. I eat dinner at 9:30 or 10 and don't think anything of it. Wine is water.
Life is good here. I spoke with an old and good friend today on the phone and he asked me how life was. It's good. It's hard to describe in any other way; I work hard and love it, I eat and drink well, I stare out at the city. It's hard to complain.
I do miss one thing, though.
Hopefully tomorrow I can find a new suit or two. The sales are on. It's July.
