Memories of Venice

How does one go from a magical vacation in Venice back to the reality of a dreary April in Southeastern Connecticut!?


Hold on to the memories and the flavor!
A few things about this trip to Venice (will go into more detail later)


- Our dear friends Isabella and Dino (and their amazing food) at Osteria Oliva Nera


-Julie- the server at Oliva Nera, with a radiant smile, deftness, speed and perception--would you like to work for ATTC?!


-Eating tons of food and walking it all off--or most of it anyway!


-Negronis--the best


-Watching amazing construction/renovation from boat barges-remember, the roads are canals and the streets are the buildings in Venice


-No cars...yay!


-Works of Giambattista Tiepolo


-A contemporary world that exists within the confines of ancient history


-The delicate stuffed zucchini blossoms at Oliva Nera--absolute heaven on a fork


-Pumping Stations--taking your empty water to your local "P.S." to fill up with local wines


-Aqua Alta- we never visit Venice in season and have had the luxury of dining in restaurants (wearing our muck boots) sitting in 6'' of water


-Proximity to--Alto Adige--another world where Italy and Germany blend flavors


-Seeing my favorite color purple--in everything, on everyone, every shade, everywhere
