I have just discovered your blog. It seems to be rare to find canadians who live in Florence. I find that quite fascinating to read about people who achieve such a big move. If you ever have the time, could you tell me if there is a francophone community in Florence ?
I am hoping to return to Florence. Could you recommend a city near Florence where it would less expensive to stay ?
And, a last question ! Do you still enjoy the daily life in Florence ?
Grazie,
