Had a meeting today with some folks from St. Anthony's Italian Festival. It made me long for Italy. Sauteed some beautiful sea scallops and had a glass of Soave. Simple, fresh seafood almost always transports me back to Venice, which I visited (again) during my 3-week European jaunt last October.
I love Venice. This is a romantic view from the Grand Canal. (The Santa Maria della Salute Church is in scaffolding.) I didn't take this photo while sitting in a gondola - are you kidding?? a trip in one of those long skinny boats is more than $150 and there was no way I was spending that kind of money on a boat trip that's essentially for tourists.
No, I'll take the much more economical vaporetto any day. (Sorry, but all my weak American dollars always go toward a good meal and wine - or maybe a great Italian opera. And dinner and the La Fenice opera theater in Venice certainly ain't cheap.)

Next time you're there don't miss the gelato at Il Doge, right off Campo Santa Margherita... amazing.
