  4. We missed you!
    Beautiful photos as usual.I think the bakery in Florence is the very same one I drooled outside the window of in November.......I was told it has the best cakes in the world but we were waiting to get up a good appetite for dinner.

  7. Paris Breakfasts:
    Luckily, Vienna's also in the midst of an early fling with spring.

    Absolute Vanilla (& Atyllah) :
    Did you notice the dark chocolate powder Florentine fleur-de-lis on the "Schiacciata alla Florentina" sheet cake?

    Elizabeth:
    Must be the same one, I guess. ;-)
    I didn't eat any cake either, but had the best coffee of Florence.

    Maggie May:
    It is warmer now in Vienna than it was in Florence, and for me spring has sprung, if only in my heart and mind. ;-)

    PG:
    Yes, you are right, lucky I am. I cherish every hour I spent there. I am already dreaming of going back. Soon, I hope.
