Venezia







so wednesday morning started with me hopping on the train to Venezia. i was meeting Claire (Australian friend) and Avio (american friend) and we were gonna just spend the day there. we met around 10 and headed first towards the little venders. i needed to buy some gifts for my family and friends so i figured i would buy them before i wpent my money and then was unable to. well anyways. we made our way to this huge market. there was fish and shrimp and clambs and everything you could think of. it looked so....well raw and smelled pretty good, but i bet if you added some of that sward fish and a really great italian cook then you could get some amazing food. along with the fish part, was the fruit and vegetables where we bought some figs and cherries to munch on and the meat station, which included chickens who still had their heads and horse meat...yumm. anyways. we walked around and soon decided to get pizza. i have become some accustomed to pizza that the size or taste doesn't surprise me anymore...but holy moley. this tiem i was take aback. the pizza was 4 euro for once slice. but its totally understandable. they were the biggest pieces of pizza i've ever had. not only was it huge...but it was thick too, where are most of the italian pizza is thin. it was soo intense. i think it took me a good 20 minutes to eat. it was covered in artichoke, mushroom, and proscciutto. delicious!!! well after that we found a nice little spot to sit and we just talked and ate our cherries. at 3 we headed back to our cities. i got on my train and arrived back in Udine after another successful day in Venezia.






gotta love italy :)
