On to Venice today

We catch a train to Venice later this morning. Who knows what the internet possibilities will be there. I've gotten spoiled here because the desk clerk sweetly told me I could pay 5 euros an hour to use their computer or I could use my laptop in the breakfast room, where for some reason, she didn't understand why, wireless computers worked.

Well, it seems to me obvious. They are pirating somebody else's service, but to say that was a little beyond my Italian.

Trattoria 4 Leoni was a good choice, Jason. Thanks. We decided on it when we stopped to ask directions of two Swedes (they were smoking as they walked so we thought they were Italian), and they told us it was "world famous." I don't know about that, but the food was good.

It is just as difficult to find great, reasonable restaurants in Venice as it is in Florence, but they do exist.
We love Trattoria da Remigio, not far from the Piazza San Marco (you may be the only American there) and although it is included in many guidebooks, Trattoria all Madonna, near the Rialto, is also a great Venetian experience.
Buon Viaggio
