Yeah, Florence had some amazing food, and it was easier to avoid all the crappy tourist trap restaurants there than in Rome.

That's kind of what we did...but luckily walking and hiking kept us more or less in balance.

 

Basic carbonara from a delicious hole-in-the-wall in Florence, Italy.

Yeah, I realize that sounded a little callous, now. We WFH and are self-employed, so "travel" doesn't always mean vacation, just a new view over the laptop for the workday. And mid-week camping at higher elevations (as long as I have data service) is an inexpensive way to beat the heat.

Lowes and Bi-Mart had smoking deals on portable AC units earlier this year. With an older place and no central air, that was a lifesaver.

Travel. And I bought extra AC units early this spring for when we are in town.
