I guess it's fitting that we've ended the trip to Firenze on a high note;

had dinner tonight - the Last Supper -  at Casalinga.

They've changed things there somewhat, schematically speaking,

a new dining room open, the old space in back shut, for renovation.

Some things are the same however: great food, low prices,

a bit of a dance with the waiter going in, not so much to see 

who will prevail, but more about how it will all go down.

You give a little, you stand your ground a little,

and somehow after 10 or 15 minutes, everyone seems 

to be on the same page, and a pleasurable evening

gets underway.

The standing your ground part is important,

otherwise you could be reduced to tears,

or frustration, or something else not conducive 

to a very nice time, egos intact, tummies full.
