I was again blessed with a perfectly satisfying weekend. This time in the delightful land of curvy canals, ambagious alleyways, gaudy gondolas, delectable dining, irrestible icecream, and, of course, that warm Italian spirit that permeates everything. Veni vidi vici!

Yes it's predictable, but there's nothing like an evening spent in St. Mark's square at one of the cafes listening to the beautiful music while sipping an espresso.  Oh you'll definitely look twice at your bill and wonder about the extra charge to "sit", but the memories that you'll …

It was, more or less, the last day of our trip.  It felt so funny to have it be ending, and stranger still was the sense that we'd been gone a really long time already. The following morning our plane would be taking off from the Venice Airport; so our goal for the day was to get back to Veni…

For 2.50eur an hour, sounds like the best deal for me because the internet at the campsite I'm staying at costs 5euros an…

2001 was an amazing year for me.  I got engaged, I quit my job, I got married, I moved to another state, and I traveled abroad for the first time in my life.  What better place to begin than the magical, romantic city of Venice!  Since it was our honeymoon, we were sparing almost no …
