Camminare means "to walk". This is something I am doing a lot of here in Firenze. In fact, after 'speaking Italian', I think it may be my second most frequent activity.

Wheeeee!

Emilia waxed my bedroom floor a couple of weeks ago.  This, when she mentioned it at dinner the next day, explained why my floor had suddenly become an ice rink.  Not in temperature--that's normal, although improving this time of year--but in level of traction (ie, none).  It was disconcerting for the first day or so, but after a while, you just get used to the way the carpet relocates by a couple of inches whenever you step on it, and remember not to move too quickly. 

This morning, though, I was in a hurry and forgot, and the carpet went flying by a good half a foot.  Luckily I did not actually fall over or crash into anything, but it was a close one, and reminded my that I'd forgotten to mention my beautifully waxed floor to all of you...

  1. Oh my, that's some floor wax Emilia is using! Maybe you should take up careful shuffling.
