Giorno 6: Venezia!

Our days in Italy have been filled with loads of walking and good food. We got in at midnight last night after walking around my old neighborhood, Dorsoduro. (Pizza Al Volo's "pizza Americana" not only has French fries on it, but also hot dog pieces--ack!)

This morning we slept in and relaxed. EK made lunch with my favorite pasta sauce out of the jar--it's made with roasted red peppers and pecorino! After, we saw Titian's art at the Frari and then an exhibit with models of DaVinci's inventions, inside the church where the library scene from Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade was filmed.

It seems that at every other corner we'd stop to get wine, pastries, gelato, or cappucini. After cocktails on the Zattere, we had another delicious dinner--this time seafood risotto--then went to a string concert in a beautiful old church by the Accademia. We weren't allowed to take pictures during the concert, but I have a few of the space. Tomorrow, we are going to the island of Murano and then Scuola Di San Rocco to see the paintings of another Venetian master, Tintoretto. I'm excited to ride the water taxi, the vaporetto!
