PhotoHunt: Walking - In Venice



After walking around Venice on our eighth day there, Alessandro and I went for a cappuccino at my favorite bar in Italy - Lavena Cafe in Piazza San Marco.

This is my latest entry.

The closest thing to a cappuccino I've gotten is from McCafe at McDonald's up the road from me. ::sigh::

Venice is the best walking city in the world, I believe, so perfect for the theme!

I love walking in Venice. Caffé Lavena is my favorite too - the sunniest place on Piazza San Marco.

It would cool to explore Venice. I have read a bit on it and it sounds wonderful.

First week at school wasn't that bad. A bit hard because of the cast but it was taken of this afternoon.

Could you check my blog please? I have put my 3 minute speech there and would like your opinion. The speech is part of our literacy program. Don't worry. Everyone has been telling me to slow down while speaking.

I would hunt for a place to sit down too if I were to walk around so much in Venice. :)

Looks like a fun place to visit. Great photo.

The thing I hate about walking in Venice is that you have to watch where you step since no one picks up after their dog!

Still it is a wonderful city.

A nice pit stop after a lovely walk!

Mine is up. I hope you have time to check it out.

Great way to top off a walk in an all walking city. I could do with another coffee ... in fact I think I'll get it now. Have a great week.

After a long walk nothing beats having a drink at the cafe to rest those tired legs...for a further journey later on :)
