little bike with grand ambitions
it's impossible not to LOVE Florence...well...maybe after you switch off the button responsible for seeing all those tourists around you . But hey - that is actually possible! And after you will do that and notice the beauty of this city from behind the mass of people rushing and pushing thrue - you will fall in love with it forever...
I wish we had more time there...maybe not as much as this bike here ;) but just a little bit more...like a year....or 50 :D

Caffè Americano
She has the silence deep in her breasts embraced
She wears a perfume of a truly vicious taste.
She has the wisdom in her empathic eyes.
She knows the truth to all unspoken lies.
She says she'd sell her angel for a dream
She says that she is not who she might seem
She says that she has lost her self-esteem
She says that she will not give up her dream
She offers traitors her lap to feel like home.
She masters violence as if she fears no one.
She makes your anger turn into quiet tears.
She makes you laugh about intimate fears.
She hears the voices that tell me what to do.
She look into our eyes, but only smiles at you.
She knows the warmth she feels is not for long.
She stopped to speak that's why I end this song.

rain watching
we had a chance to see a big storm in Venice
ah, what a romantic experience...
We had to run from the rain, skipping puddles and hiding in one of many palaces along the waterfront..it was...quitet....
There was no soul around - just the two of us, no tourists, no sounds...except the rain hitting pavement and us giggling - soaking wet...looking at lightnings...just perfect

Introducing Bogna Patricia Altman... ;)
For those who might be in Italy in nearest future - here are three tips which Italian travel guides will NOT tell you:
uno:
when you order latte in coffee shop and waitress asks you three times if you SURE of it (yes, damn it, I want latte!!!), don't be surprised to receive a big glass of milk :/
due:
when you don't know where to drive and your GPS goes nuts and you are just about to divorce with your brand new hubby - just turn wherever you like - even where there is "no entrance" sign.
"no passing" sign? no problema! there are no lines on the road showing you where and how you should drive? no problema! you hit and run teen motorbiker? no problema!
You run out of gas in rental car? BIG 100 euro problema! :/
tre:
always take compass with you, because then you will be main attraction in Venice - taking out your laptop of the backpack and making a photo of Google maps in the middle of Saint Mark's square to know where the hell you are, so you could look at your LCD screen later as it's the only map you have
Sounds complicated?
Maybe.
But it's life saving :)
