September 19, 2006

Have been for two days now in Venice, city of my heart. Lala is loving it, too, mostly because I only make her walk for about two city blocks before I make her sit down to drink something, coffee in the morning, wine and coffee in the afternoon, spritz and wine at night.

She had no idea I’d make her be so social — two engagements yesterday, one yarn involved, of course. The weather is perfect, warm and just a little muggy — we just missed days of rain, apparently.

I’d tell you more, but it’s evening, and that means time for wine and aperol and maybe a little pasta. Then a little more walking, and falling into bed with tired feet and happy hearts. Love to you all. More when I’m home, will most likely post on Sunday.

Ciao ciao.

    So jealous. You should check out La Taverna San Trovaso by the Accademia Bridge in Dorsoduro. It’s a family restaurant–I used to date one of the owners/waiters. Excellent food, excellent prices, excellent people. Can’t wait to hear more about your vacation.

    Non c’e’ dubbio, Venezia e’ semplicemente magnifica!
    I’d love to go back and visit properly one day.

    I’m just catching up:
    1. Your trips sounds lovely–have fun!
    2. Your wife IS hot. All the best of the tour.
    3. Your sweater is gorgeous. And the buttons are perfect.
    4. Your universe seems pretty near perfect (especially with stash cashmere).
    Mwah!

    How gosh darn ROMANTIC !!
    I used to live in Italy and at this point I would give my big toes to be able to go back !!
    But then I wouldn’t be able to wear my cool flip-flops…
