Once we found Little Italy, it did not take much time to find a likely spot for our morning cuppa and breakfast. I mean, the Italians invented espresso, so we could be sure of good coffee.
The first morning, we ordered Lattes and pain au chocolate (yeah, I know that is not Italian, but, c’mon, its chocolate and bread, the perfect food). My caffeinated latte was great, hot and good coffee taste. My Patty’s decaf was not so much, not hot and no coffee flavour. They warmed it up and promised better the next time.
So we came back the next morning. This time, we ordered lattes, a roasted red pepper and smoked gouda panini to share, a pain au chocolate and an almond croissant. Everything was great, but the decaf coffee was not up to the same standards I achieve at home.
Nonetheless, a good stop for breakfast with great service and decor and enough options to keep us happy. With the front window table, it was also perfect for people watching, which we like to do during morning coffee.
After working for 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I waited my entire career for……retirement.
I have been exploring this new career for the past 3+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wanted me to do has been rewarding.
While I still miss the social aspect of working with a team of great people, I have managed to keep in touch with many from my former team and I have many friends and family members who now fulfill this part of my life. Now that my Patty has retired, we are able to spend more time in pursuits and with people who are near and dear to us.
I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may not become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

Absolutely. You can almost picture that mask being worn on a small street in a small Italian town on a festival day. Thanks for reading and commenting. Allan
Hi Giovanni. Glad you liked it. Little Italy and Caffe Italia were like a little bit of Italy, for sure. We will soon be in Pisa and Riomaggiore for a vacation, so can’t wait for the real thing. Thanks for reading and commenting. Allan
