After being well rested from a good night of sleep we went out on a walk through the canals. Man oh man Venice is gorgeous. It is even more beautiful than I had imagined. Small streets and alleys, little bridges, rowed houses... and it is not easy to navigate.

After that we did a lot of the normal touristy stuff like San Marco Square and the Basilica, Doge's Palace... It's all pretty similar to the stuff you see everywhere else, but it was nice. We went into this renowned Carnivale mask makers store. It was so awesome, but we don't have any photos of the masks as we were too embarrassed to ask if we could take pictures.
Later that night we got dinner at Rick Steves recommended Osteria de Nono Risorto. It was delish. Jenny got a mixed salad and I (Ethan and yes this is my first entry) got a 2 course meal. As the starter I got a pasta with red sauce and shellfish and a as an entree, squid cooked in its ink over polenta. I was still a little hungry so I ordered tiramisu for dessert.
The Venetia

In the Venetian style, we started our nights early, and in the Venetian style we were usually out by 22:30 (10:30).
It is now 1:30 in the afternoon in Amsterdam and we are taking some of our precious time to keep you entertained. Paris to come as soon as we get back to the internet.

Squid cooked in its own ink??? And all Jenny got was a mixed salad? Well, it sounds like Venice was really fun, I'm glad the Gondola ride was better that you expected. I got your message, Jenny, call Friday or this weekend if you can! I can't wait for some pictures!
