• First Real Day...

    September 5, 2025 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 73 °F

    An explanation, but first I need to go back to last night. In our continuing battle with time zone changes, we decided to go out for dinner at 7 pm for Indian food. The restaurant was recommended by our abnb host and it was amazing. We were the only PCDOAC's there (persons completely devoid of any color) so we figured it would be.
    We then walked all the way down to San Marco square to see it all lit up (magnificent, still). Finally got to sleep at around 11.
    Ok, so today; We woke up late and both felt completely refreshed, synched and ready. It was a new day. It felt like a first day. After coffee and pastry we walked down to the Peggy Guggenheim museum . What an amazing collection of modern art. We spent most of the day there, walked home, had dinner, then walked back down to the Chiesa dei pieta (called Vivaldi's church) and sat for a concert by the Vivaldi Baroque Ensemble. They played "Four Seasons"....In Vivaldi's church.
    In Venice.
    I dont want to sound like a newb, but seriously?
    We were just lucky enough to be here while they were here. My soul is full, i cant possibly take any more today.
    36,000 steps in two days, our feet are done too!
