We have two relatively commitment free days for this last weekend in Venice (and, of course, in Italy). The weather is pretty nice today so we wandered from our apartment, towards SS Giovanni & Paolo, then to S. Maria Formosa, then toward the Rialto and then back. . .I had done some grocery shopping (ho fatto la spesa) in our neighborhood, getting a pre-cooked chicken at the local butcher shop (plus 2 hamburger patties. . for which I was warned not to add any salt. . .and some salami. . .just in case). I also got a liter of prosecco for the equivalent of $2.70 at the wine depot. . and some bread with olives baked on top. We enjoyed a meal at the table on the balcony up the stairs from our apartment. Greg is up there now, with his crossword, and I am heading to the bed for una piccola siesta. . .there is a little rio down the calle on that side of our apartment and I can hear boats there and various conversations as people head to their apartments.
This evening (6:00) we go to one of Roberta's concerts at the Casa Goldoni--It's a salute to spring.
