Flavio,
Viewing Eric's photos and yours made me miss the place so mcuh that I
had a look at Myair fares this afternoon and I am nearly set to spend a
couple of days at Firenze and Venezia late August.
Perhaps we might set up a kind of lunch or dinner or something if you're
available then.
More about it later in the season.
Yours
Phil...X
