Got into Venice yesterday afternoon, after spending an enjoyable last day in Spain in Stiges. It was a mediteranian resort town. We stayed in a hotel across a small street from the beach, with a lovely roof-top bar. Yenna went for a swim, I read my book. The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Anouther astounding book by him, the story was harsh, apocolyptic and so incrediably sad. I could hardly stand it, but I could hardly put down.
We took a mostly empty Italian Myair plane to the Marco Polo airport just outside Venice, jumped on bus and then the water bus to meet a woman who walked us to our rented aoartment. it's great to be back in Italy, and Yenna is super excited about having more veggie choices to eat! The apartment is comfortable, and nicely located...it feels like we are staying at someones great aunt's house. Today, we took the train into Padova, walked around until the afternoon, an came back into Venice. We may go see some Vivaldi tonight.
