Italian Lesson #12 Le piccole cose – The little things
July 21st, 2010 by Sandy FlorezSome afternoons, I sit on the steps of San Lorenzo, with a book in one hand and a gelato on the other. In front of me, a Great Dane quietly sits next to it’s owner, while some kids toss a soccer ball back and forth to my right. I see one of my classmates from afar, taking a stroll with an Italian boy she had told me about. I think his name was Niccolo. Anyway, I’ve never seen her smile so big. It’s a sunny day in Perugia but the cool breeze alleviates the stings of heat on my skin. It’s these little things, le piccole cose, that make up most of the in between. I’m not complaining.

Sandy,
I see that no one has commented on your posts in awhile, so I’ll leave one here out of sympathy.
I love your pictures and I hope you’re having a wonderful time. Can’t wait to see you when you get back and hear all your stories. Tell Ilsa I say hello. I miss you. Be safe.
Always,
Rick
PS
I’m commenting on a post titled ‘The Little Things.’ Ironic, huh?

Is that like a buy a bunch and get one gelato free card? I hope you made it to the free one!
