Once in Florence

Once upon a time around this time of year, Akira and I bumbled into Italy on a last-minute fare.

As other passengers, mostly natives, unpacked themselves from the aircraft, they put on sunglasses. They relaxed. They wore clean, well-manicured shoes with labels ending in vowels.

Dazed but optimistic, we followed.

It was winter, yes, but here there were no rain-soaked winds like in our green corner of Europe. Tan earth. Dry air. We weren't in Ireland anymore.

Sure, we could have done with some cassette-tape language lessons and travel guides. But despite the lack of background knowledge, something about this place was comfortable. It was easy to wander aimlessly and enjoy the light, which was always perfect no matter what the time of day. It no longer became so important to get to the next musuem. What was nice, we found, was to pause.
