Florence and Our Beautiful World

Hello from Florence!

I am here in front of the famous Ponte Vecchio in Florence, Italy......on my birthday!

Thank you friends, for the lovely birthday wishes you sent over! : )

Ponte Vecchio (The old bridge) is the only bridge across the Arno river that was not destroy during world war ll, rumors said that because Hitler like it so much that the bridge was spared.

I love Florence, this is my 4th time here, but while this city is lovely, we do have an unfortunate event though, not sure if you've heard from the news channel that on Wednesday, an underground water pipe burst in Florence, that area is near Ponte Vecchio, and the place we rented via Airbnb happened to be in this area, and only after climbing up 4 flight in this 150 years old building with our heavy luggages, we got the bad news from the owner of the apartment that we have NO water supply, oh my........

Well, the rest of the story later...... for now, it's

The word at Our Beautiful World this week is.....

CUP 

While I was in Venice, we went to the oldest cafe in Europe,  Cafe Florian, that gives me the opportunity to get a photo of my CUP of tea.

I am not a coffee person, but Clare loves Italian Cappuccino....

and I just love pretty heart in the CUP!

hop over to Our Beautiful World and join in the fun!
