So...we never made it to the glass island of Murano :( One of us overslept...I won't say who. The rest of our stay in Venice was great. a great dinner at a small piazza restaurant near our room, complete with violins. We both tried the local venetian drink, a spritz, but neither of us were that impressed. It tasted a lot like a shirley temple chock full o' amaretto to me. so now, after too much beer in munich and a shoddy shirley temple, I've switched to wine just in time to hit our stride in Florence and Rome. We did a bit of shopping this morning, I almost bought Jimbo a pimp silk tie with Gondolas on it, but decided he would look like a venetian poser (sorry bro). a few other small purchases were made...surprises await.
As for the pictures published to the right...Yes, those are rabid pigeons. Yes, i probably now have salmonella. No, they did not poop on me.
Out train to Florence was great, except we had to pay an unexpected 30€ reservation fee...booo! we got a bit of rest until a small child with a blood curdling scream decided he wasn't getting enough attention. oh well...a quick nap in our new (very american) hostel set things straight.
we are off to go see the Brunullesci duomo and the piazza Michaelangelo, a bit of grub on the way. Tomorrow will be a whirlwind art tour of the Accademia galerie and the Uffizi. hope all is well state side. ciao!
