5 Reasons Why I Fell in Love with Florence

2. The coffee

Those close to me know how heavily I rely on coffee.

It is the elixir of my life, what wakes me up and keeps me from going crazy each day.

That caffeine dependency intensified the minute I stepped foot in Italy.

Caffè latte. Cappuccino. Espresso.

Some velvety smooth, others frothy and light. One came with a heart, several with smiles.

I drank it all, and I draft it often.

And of course, I brought bags of it back home with me.

It was that good.
