First let me say that I did not see a large pink bird with stick like legs doing a super fast stomping tap dance. I did say flamingo and ment flamenco dance show. also baecelona won over madrid on saturdays soccer match. not barcelonia against all of spain.
but that being corrected let me go onto our arrival in italy.
our fist food in italy was pizza and it was soooo goood. we had lunch in milano and dinner in venice. last night in venice we had pasta dishes and they were both good but my dish was great.
I do not know who this girls is that i am traveling with some times as she is not the daughter i have known for 19 years. that girl was a fussy eater. this girl orders everything she thinks will be interesting and a new experiance. she ordered a pasta with a egg and bacon sauce. i suppose like scrambled eggs mixed in with pasta. that is not as unusual as other things she is eating these days but she would not have ordered something all mixed up like that in the past. that must mean she is growing up. when will i grow up. she eats things i still will not eat.
italy key boards are not the same as spain key boards, which are not the same as usa keyboards. we never had to pay to use the bathroom in spain but they often did not have toiklet paper. not even a place to hang toilet paper. so it was not that they ran out. they just do not put it in the bathrooms. even in the train station.
in italy they make you pay to use the bathroom. even in the train station.
last night we had a extra charge on our dinner bill that they said was just for walking in . the bill had 12 percent tip included and 2.50 euro each for showing up. that is about $4.oo each.
nothing like spain where they do not tip, do not add a additional charge for being nice enough to give them your business.
they do "suck face" in public here like they do in spain.
we are going to spend all day roaming venice. got on our walking shoes and ready to head out.
it is hot here.
we also plan to take a boat ride around venice and see some the islands.
take care,
D
