random Florence memories

[anotheranon]

• the "running man" emergency exit signs
  
• the narrow, busy streets - maybe it was just me but active street life = safer, IMHO
  
• smaller servings, including those tiny paddle things they use to eat gelato
  
• things closed in the afternoon - both annoying and helpful because it enforces taking a break midday
  
• inventive knitwear
  
• ZOMG so cute! teeny cars
  
• the smell of wet cobblestones
  
• pigeons that got entirely too familiar (would not hesitate to walk into restaurant seating)

Is the tiny blue electric car still parked in front of the Pucci boutique on Via Tornabuoni? So cute and little!

sigh...thanks for the flashback! Great memories.

Don't remember seeing anything particular on the Via Tornabuoni, but there were tiny electric cars everywhere - even the police had Alfas or something similarly small and unthreatening :P

This in addition to the bajillion scooters of various makes/models..

And all the Smarts. There were hundreds of them, everywhere!
