Sweet morning at Hotel Flora, Venice

In 1989 we stayed at the Hotel Flora for a fabulous week of cooking with the late Marcella Hazan. That week was famous (infamous?) for the one and only Pink Floyd concert in Venice. It was a mess! Fast forward to 2024. We ended a Tauck tour of N. Italy in Venice staying at The Gritti Palace (fabulous). But, with fond memories of Hotel Flora we wandered over. We met a young woman (who I am sure was not yet born in 1989) and told her how much we loved the hotel, particularly having breakfast in the lovely courtyard. We had a photo of us. She escorted us to the courtyard where we sat in the same place while she took our picture. The courtyard was exactly the same, just lovely. When we rose to leave she insisted we spend more time (it was just us) and enjoy coffee and pastries on them. We nearly cried! What a lovely gesture and another fond memory of the Hotel Flora https://share.icloud.com/photos/0a9i_nWEs8I7K-TNuhhIUotLw.
