Technically Illegal
We are in Venice. More personally, I am in the computer lab of a sleepy university in Venice using their internet connection. I don't think i'm supposed to be here but nobody has said anything. I reckon I'll keep it short for now but let me say that Venice is pretty much exactly what you've pictured all your life. Canals, Gondolas, maze-like streets. I keep saying that it would be the perfect place to be chased. By the law or some criminal warlord or zombies or women. whatever.
Yesterday we got off of an uncomfortable night train from Munich and found a good hostel and played with piegons in San Marcos square. The city exploration was great and sweaty (it's quite hot here) and we were mistaken for members of the Air Force on leave from Iraq. How? I don't know.
Will and I washed clothes. They dried quickly.
Our hostel has a kitchen so last night we made a huge Italian meal with lots of pasta and pesto and meat and bread and pesto and this great dish of tomatoes (pomadoros) and cheese and basil pesto. We came up with very profound theories about Basil Pesto, Butter, and Love.
After dinner we heard dueling orchestras and sampled the Italian Gelato. And an Italian Jazz Bar.
All in all a great place. Pity it's sinking into the sea.
Love to all,
Caleb
