Venezia

Wednesday night I headed straight from work to Centrale to take the train to Venezia. I grabbed some stir fried noodles at a place I had never seen before, a small chain restaurant called W.O.K., which stands for world organic kitchen or something along those lines. Anyway, generic pan-Asian cuisine. It was just OK. Definitely edible, but not too flavorful. At least it was freshly made!



I got a vapretto pass and headed toward the Rialto. There's always something magical about getting into Venice, especially at night! The canal just does it for me.



I got a little lost finding the hotel, but I really don't mind so much. The blocks are so short that you can't go too far out of your way. You pass all sorts of shops, courtyards, hotels, restaurants, and little weird shrines and wells. This courtyard caught my eye, it was on the tiny alley on the way to our hotel.



While I made a bit of a spiral, I did succeed and found Linda home from La Fenice already... We stayed up a little on the late side chatting, then I was tired enough to fall asleep as soon as the lights were out!

A special note here: September was actually the first month that I successfully posted every day. Why wasn't I doing this before? Well, I was cut off from posting a lot when I wasn't home. And I have been "not home" a lot! August: Germany. July: USA. June: Riccione... and so on. Or some of the time it was due to entertaining guests. Well, hopefully I can keep this up, but I have a lot of travels ahead of me for October. Rome, Venice, Istanbul, and out of town guests visiting... Doesn't look good but I will try my best.
