(Dang, that is one heck of a long run-on sentence! Haha!)<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Back in July my friend Sue, whom I\u2019ve never met in person, messaged me to ask how I was doing and we got to type-chatting about dis and dat and I casually mentioned I would be alone in Florence for 4 nights and wouldn\u2019t it be fun if she could join me aaaaaaaand\u2026fast forward to last night where Sue took a bus, a plane, a train shuttle, a train and a taxi to arrive at my hotel\u2019s doorstep! Such fun!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">She arrived around 8:30 and after a nice chat we walked a few blocks to go for dinner. It was a perfect night of online friendship come to life, gorgeous weather, beautiful architecture, great pizza and convivial Italian atmosphere. Off to see some guy\u2019s statue later, David something or other. Maybe you\u2019ve heard of it? <span class=\"x3nfvp2 x1j61x8r x1fcty0u xdj266r xhhsvwb xat24cr xgzva0m xxymvpz xlup9mm x1kky2od\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
