Live From Venice!
Jun. 20th, 2010 06:20 am It is rainy here.
Feels lovely to be off of the plane, of course, and back on somewhat solid ground. We got to ride a water taxi from the airport to our apartment. Siblings refusing to shut up/stop arguing, even though we're in the part of the vacation that Sister chose. (I chose Paris, though I think I will prefer the two weeks in Scotland).
We're also facing the should-have-been-anticipated problem of nobody speaking a word of Italian- don't look at me, okay, I've been boning up on my French and got an A even.
You can see canals and old buildings and boats out of the windows, and the living room in particular has a lovely view of a red roof and a tall carved building that I think might be a church.
Also birds. We've heard horrible reports of aggressive pigeons, but all I've seen so far have been wet seagulls.
