Venice, Italy

Well we made it to Venice.  It is a place you hear everyone talk about and it's amazing that we're here.  It isn't quite that easy to get to, you know, trains, boats and walking to the hotel, but we're ready to see it.  During our stay I didn't love Venice, but looking back at the photo's I really enjoyed it. I think maybe it was the time of year, not alot of people around (I like people) but everyone say's that in the summer it is a mob scene and that it really stinks, so I'll just remember it happy.  Venice is bigger than I thought and sort of a maze to get around  but I had Kent to navigate.  One of my most favorite things was the pigeons, Kent really liked the city except the sales guy in Murano. (Couldn't believe we wouldn't buy a glass statue for 5.000 euros.)

All in all "been there, done that", as Phil say's. 

Lake Como 2009

After a flight from SLC to San Francisco, Paris and Milan, we trained about an hour

to a place called Saronno.  We then caught another train to Como a had a choice of $125 taxi

ride or a bus ride... I choose the bus trip up the winding rode, about another hour, standing up. At one point Kent almost barfed in my pursed.  It was a long day and we were so happy to arrive in Bellagio. Once we had dinner of caprese salad and pizza  and a good nights sleep all travel headaches were gone and we were ready to enjoy Italy.   Kent loved this town, I had been there before but didn't remember the mountains. (the back of the Alps)(they look different in the summer). 

We had great food and ferried around to Menaggio and Varenna  just relaxing.  If you are ever planning to go to the Como area please contact me and I will tell you the best way to get there.
