La Focaccia Da Eva

It has been a long time I know since I have written so here goes:

One of the nice things I love about living in a small town is the simplicity of part of our morning routine. Although at times it can get to me especially when we are running late, I love stopping at the bakery across the street from the preschool for my son's little piece of foccaccia that we stick in his backpack for his daily school snack. All the parents stop there and it is usually the place for the first Buon giorno's before dropping your child off at school.

Eva is the girl behind the counter that knows everyone by name and every child's preference for foccaccia. The little piece of foccaccia at 30 cents everyday that she puts in a little white bag is one of those small things that I would miss if I moved to a big city. It just would not be the same.

Hi!
I am Italian (originally from Naples) and I live in Assisi, a small town in Umbria.
I have been living in Uk for 3 years and I would love to live in Los Angeles...I came across your blog, I red your profile and it´s funny to know that you came from Usa to Italy and I would do the same travel in the opposite sense;-)
Have a good time in Chiusi!
Valentina
