Blog- Venice!
We are headed out of Venice this morning, April 13th 2014 and in route to Florence! We had an amazing time in Venice, and Italy is beautiful. It was so nice to finally be in Italy- we had been waiting for it for a long time. Venice is gorgeous and no pictures can do it justice. The way the city is set up with the canals as it's streets it insane. We found our way to where we were staying, at a be and breakfast and it was so cute. A perfect little Italian place owned by a couple, who's father in law owned the restaurant around the corner. An adorable little old Italian man, loved it! The day was perfect- we walked all along the canal, of course eating all kinda of Italian foods: gelato, pastry a like canoles, pasta, and pizza!! It was all so good and I have never eaten so much ever. But it's reall old with real ingredients and wasn't gross or too filling to eat. The pizza was out of this world- so fresh, no grease, just perfecto! We would have loved to take a gondola ride but it was crazy expensive, so we went for the water taxi that did the whole grand canal, and it was just as great to see everything from the water. Italy is so rustic and I love it, I could stare at these buildings and houses all day. The house outside our hostel had gorgeous lilac bushes overflowing the stone and you could smell it all around. Not to mention the Italian people, who are just so funny to sit and listen to conversations because they're so into what they are talking about. For dinner we went to Da Nina restraint, the one owned by the father of the couple in the B&B we were staying at. It was the best food I think we've ever had, the pasta with meat sauce was so delicious, so was the Bread and wine.. It was perfect an along the canal. Couldn't have asked for a better dinner. We walked around for awhile after dinner and and of courses grabbed some more gelato, and saw a wedding along the way- it was so beautiful an authentic Italian. I swear we have eaten more in Italy than we have the past two weeks. I have YET to gain too much weight.. But I guess we still have 2 more days in Italy!!
The days are going by so fast, but we are having a blast. Can shower, and are fed! So in the end it's all going great and we are off to Florence!
Until next time,
Cheers!
