e BASTA .....

...a 2 years old lovely Italian girl knows what she wants...."Gelato", even the type of the gelato "pistacchio", even the right amount  "e BASTA..." This is the Caterina : )

due to the privacy we choose the picture : )) 
Today was a different day, today we were not only the tourists, we were also a little bit local. We visited Patti in Faenze... (and our navigator had no more energy) meeting her again after so many years in Italy and to meet her lovely daughter Caterina was really nice. Not to mention we had a perfect lunch at their countryhouse and perfect time, which passed quickly, while trying to summarize the years in few hours.

Coming from Turkey, Istanbul, we did not miss the chance to compare the mosaics in Ravenna on the way to Faenze with the ones in Istanbul. San Vitale Basilika is famous with Byzantine mosaics. It is really impressing and gives also the feeling "being at home". Next to San Vitale Basilika is the masolleum of Galla, the daugher of Theodosius I, again with wonderful mosaics.

Today our final destination was Mestre  and this trip was not easy for us. It was almost 40 degrees, we had 1 hour traffic jam on the highway, the ipod connection of the car is not working anymore and the way to our hotel by car is like a puzzle. But you forget everything while eating a nice pizza on the lovely piazza looking to the clock tower.
