After The Borgo - Goodbye by North Carolina Painter, Sue Scoggins

Blurred is sometimes better

It’s Friday.  Was it worth it?  An absolute, “YES!” 

Goodbye Borgo.

Goodbye gardens and gardeners.

Goodbye eggs florentine, waiters and drivers everywhere. 

Goodbye open windows, fire flies and horses grazing in the night.

Goodbye scorching days and dusty roads, icy rivers and muddy trails.

Goodbye cold showers, baby scorpions and lizards in my bed.

Goodbye Mr. Rooster and Georgio, the peacock.
Goodbye, huge black wolves of Tuscany.

And to the staff….

Goodbye florist Rosie from UK.

Goodbye concierge Anika from Finland.

Goodbye reception Lucrezia and Louisa.

You know who you are.

Goodbye to Caterine who smiles with each dish she washes.

The housekeepers…..and to the beautiful Stephanie who irons…. 

You are the gold nuggets of the Borgo.
