#690 - VENICE DAY 4
A Square in the Venice District of Santa Croce
Thinnest Street in Venice?!
View from the Ponte della Costituzione
Woke up embarrassingly late into the day - 2pm!
Sat along the Grand Canal for awhile and continued reading The Knowledge.
Ate a late, late lunch. I had gnocchi. Rebekah had a salad.
Then I had my first Italian gelato. Strawberry and Raspberry. Delicious.
Came back home and slept some more.
Left for dinner around 8. Bought tickets for boat ride that we will need to take in the morning to get to the train station for our trip to Cinque Terre.
Rebekah had pasta. I ordered a Cesar Salad. It was…disgusting. Hated to do it, but had to ask to have it taken back. (Didn’t the Cesar Salad originate in Italy?! Just googled it…it originated in Mexico! No wonder Venice couldn’t get it right!)
Didn’t end up eating dinner. Honestly, I have a bit of pasta/pizza fatigue at this point. (I need to suck it up though. We’re in Italy for another 20 days!)
Went on one last long walk through the city. Absolutely beautiful night.
Came back home. Finished reading The Knowledge. Caught up with these blog posts. About to pack. Can’t wait for the next leg of our journey!

Vibe - Busy. The streets are all pretty crowded all throughout the day.
Locals - Accommodating. So thankful so many of them spoke English!
Overall - Satisfied. A great start to our trip!
