We sure do like the trains in Europe, but Vicki got bitten by some kind of bug on the train to Rome and had an allergic reaction. She says she’s glad to be leaving the warm weather of Rome behind because it makes her itch! So our first stop was at La Farmacia (the pharmacy) for some cortisone cream and some other medications. Didn’t require a Dr. visit like in the states – the pharmacist gave her what she needed – we hope.
But that didn’t stop us from strolling around Venice for the evening, looking in shops and planning for tomorrow.

That and dinner by the canal – Vicki had an excellent lasagna and I had seafood spaghetti and some scalloped veal medallions. We're taking advantage of one of the traditions of Europe - being seated with new people! Tonight we met some newlyweds from England and a French Canadian couple from Ottawa. When I mentioned that Dad was stationed at BentWaters Woodbridge RAF station in the 60s, the young man said that he works in Ipswitch close to there! Small world huh? I’ve also gotten into another tradition of Italy - rosso vino della casa (red house wine) with dinner! ;-)
Well, that’s all for tonight. Going to get to bed so we can get an early start tomorrow!
Ciao!
