Drifting Out To Sea

Spicy Meatballllllll.

     You guys ever heard about this place, Venice? It's kinda cool actually. I've been here once before for a half day. I'd never really thought much about the city. I think it's beautiful, but I've heard so much shit about how it's touristy as all get up. And you know what? It sure is.

     Venice is a city with almost nothing new coming out of it. It's like Superman's bottled city of Kandor. Glorious, a testament to history and architecture. Inside a bubble. It's just a tourist town. But it's a great one at that. 

     Except for the fact the only cool art we saw was a Klimt exhibit at their shitty, overpriced, main museum. Although, I hear the Peggy Guggenheim Museum is supposed to be pretty great.

   

     Halley and I stayed at a really great B&B by the name of Ca'Zora. Just a super nice dude, who spoke English really well and was very helpful in pointing us to things we should do and places we should eat.

     As per recommendation, we headed to the tiny islands of Burano and Murano, by ferry. Murano is famous for glasswork, which is pretty neat, but we kept on thinking to ourselves, "This can be found in Tacoma." Burano is famous for lace. All the houses there are brightly painted, because supposedly the local fisherman are also hardcore drunks and needed to make sure they stumbled into the right house in the middle of the night. It was a really cute place to be. And we bought some lace from a crazy old lady with a mustache and one tooth.

Sometimes we transform into wild horses.

 

  

     Here's a taste of some goodies we ate. Make sure you eat seafood and stay away from Pizza. They aren't allowed to have wood burning pizza ovens in Venice, so the pizza is kinda boring.

  

     And then there was this little dude, keepin watch outside one of the THOUSANDS of shops lining the carless streets of Venice.
