Day 12
... bc I really had no idea what we were going to see. Kenny had a long talk With a man that worked there who seemed to be in his early 70s. He spoke to me in English at the end of the conversation because he knew i was not understanding their conversation. I explained that I don't mind being left out of the conversation because whenever Kenny gets to converse in Italian he is the happiest. The man was so wonderful, I can't remember his name now(it was very ...
A man who has not been in Italy

So we decided to seek help of a fellow traveller. The lady in question was ...

They look so easy to use (for them). I guess the get lots of practice. Q18 What does 'Festa' ...
The Classic Water City
Next on the must-see list of Italy was Venice. For pure wow factor alone, this may be one of my all time favorite cities. The island portion of Venice is truly fascinating with no motor vehicles or really even bicycles, because anything with wheels would need to navigate a veritable maze of waterways, bridges, and stairs.
