A Quiet Saturday Morning

I got up this morning still feeling the effects of this horrible cough and cold I have been suffering from for a week now, but it was such a beautiful day (after two days of drizzle) that I wanted to get out and about before the crowds (didn't succeed). I was having a coffee in a cafe and an elderly lady sat down beside me; she was coughing, I was coughing, and she started to tell me (in Italian) that all of Florence was suffering from this horrible bug (mind you, I'm beginning to think it may be mass lung cancer - I still can't believe the amount of smoking that goes on!). Anyhow, we were having a good old chat (me being very proud of how it was going in my try-hard Italian!) then she dropped some English word into the conversation and it turned out she was American! Quite funny that we were both trying to speak Italian to each other! Mind you, hers was a LOT better than mine. Anyhow, here are a few pics from the morning...
