Stopped by this Farmacia (Pharmacy) for 2 somewhat embarrassing and perhaps entertaining reasons. First, we'd been walking around the streets of Florence for several days to explore the city during our week-long visit . . . and one of the 3 of us needed some Dr. Scholl's inserts to attend to some "sore foot syndrome". Secondly, on this day we seemed to be walking aimlessly and were just plain LOST and needed directions.
The Pharmacist was very helpful, both with our "sore foot" issues, but also with directions. I think he was somewhat entertained himself with this group of 3 silly Americans who stumbled and bumbled into his store. He spoke excellent English and joked around with us as he pulled up directions to the destination we were looking for on the Internet at the PC that was conveniently located at is counter.
Hey, he was even a tech savvy dude!!
Another instance of being well cared for by a very helpful and welcoming Italian friend!! read more
