Day 13, October 2, 2006

We have just left the small town of Aquilea, Italy, and our now on the train heading to Venice. We enjoyed our time in the little town very much, and although we are excited about Venice, we’re hesitant to spend any significant amount of time in the large cities. We are staying at “The House in Venice”, which is a guesthouse on Lido, an island just 10 minutes by public motorboat to St. Mark’s Square in central Venice. We have a reservation for three nights, and I believe that will be just long enough to let ourselves get significantly lost and find our way back again, hopefully coming across some interesting sights, sounds, and tastes along the way. We experienced real Italian Gelato yesterday at a small café where we stopped for a lunch of Brie and Tomato Paninis. At just 1.5 Euro per cone it was a wonderful way to escape the warm and muggy, mosquito infested afternoon.
Thanks for all of the great comments. It’s become a tradition to gather around the ole’ laptop and laugh at all our silly friends and family back home have to say. Keep it coming, we appreciate the love☺.
Once we’re finished in Venice we are headed to the Cinquo Terre, where we have reserved 4 nights at a very decent looking hostel in the western hills of La Spezzia. I’m very excited, and although we most likely will not have Internet access we will most definitely update and upload and all of that lovely stuff once we’ve moved on.
Take care everyone, we miss you!
