More Venice updates!

After yesterday's lunch at micky D's, Jay went back to the apt. to crash while I took the camera back out for some touring of the windy streets. I returned home with a massive canoli in hand to wake up my sleepy boyfriend just in time for dinner at Arte della Pizza.

This was another local spot suggested to us by the same guide that lead us to Da Lucca e Fred, and we were once again not disapointed. As we entered this little hole in the wall of a pizzaria, we were once again in a 'locals only' type atmosphere, where only one of the 3 staff members could speak to us in English. She helped us choose a pizza (a huge one for only 4,50 EUR!) and we took in all the gorgeous smells as we waited for them to cook it for us.

We took our pizza back to the hotel where we ate it with some wine we bought at the supermarket earlier and then finished the meal off with the enormous canoli. We then took to the streets. First a pub where I sampled the local italian beer, then a wine bar for 1 EUR house wine.

Total damages tuesday continued:
1 canoli: ,89 EUR
1/2 pizza, 1 beer, 1 cup of house wine: 7, 50

Today (after filling up on an epic breakfast of course) we took to the streets yet again, and walked around the canals aimlessly, doing some shopping and taking tons of pictures. We stopped at a local bakery for more canolis (only 90 centimes each! Take that, Bravo Pizzaria in Santa Monica!).

Now we're pausing breifly at DoMac for some internet and resting. More updates later!

Total damages Wed:
1 chocolate canoli of the gods: 90 centimes

You'll have to wait until our return to Paris in order to view the DSLR photos since I'll want to develop them at the photo studio first :)
