A Blog Post About Venice.
Due to unreliable internet connections and trying to spend less time on the computer, our blogging has turned into a blog about what happened several days (and sometimes a week ago). This makes it harder to write with the same enthusiasm and accuracy as if it just happened. Rright now, we're in Barcelona. We just spent 5 days in London and have a lot to write about, BUT first things first right?
That being said...
In our last stop before leaving Italy, we met up with Alan and Erica in Venice. As it turns out, Alan was the only one of us who hadn't been already. No worries, Venice is big enough for several visits. We all shared an apartment that was a 5 min walk behind Piazza San Marco. The window of our living room overlooked a restaurant, "Il Giardinetto", which was hidden under a vine-trellaced roof - tables lit with candles. Pretty romantic.
We spent our two days there as most people probably do in Venice... walking around with a map - scratching the notables off our list - cappucinos for breakfast, paninis for lunch, pasta and wine for dinner - gondola rides and prosecco on the canals - 15 euro bellinis at the world famous Harry's Bar - and generally feeling lucky to be there.
There was a nice surprise on our first night though when Andrea Bocelli appeared onstage in Piazza San Marco singing Con Te Partiro...Apparently there was a summer concert series going on that we didn't know about. Anyways, our time was short but plenty of fun. Spending time with Alan and Erica was wonderful. It was something we all needed and looked forward to.
Thanks for meeting up with us! See you back home one day :)
A new album is posted from Venice.
love you miss you
