Octopus Salad

One would not think that seeing tables of writhing octopus at the Campo Pescarina fresh fish market would inspire a craving for octopus salad, but for those of you interested in the food aspect of our journey, I invite you to consider these little suckers. Of course, they need to be eaten under a canopy of green in a small garden restaurant (Agli Alboretti Risotteria & Cantina) just off the Grand Canal.

I keep humming the theme song to "A Room with a View" and very thankful that I don't have to wear those skinney-waisted, puffy sleeved Victorian costumes in any part of Italy this summer. I did, however get some sunglasses and am looking for a Ferrari to accessorize them.

Steps and stairs

Stracciatella (chocolate chip gelato) is easily burned off one step at a time.
