While the wifi lasts

We made our way to Italy yesterday, stopping at a small but lovely locally owned hotel on the mainland near Venice.The wifi there is clearly only intended for use in the lobby, which is, perhaps more healthy for those of us who are supposed to be on holiday.

Last night we came to the island for a delicious dinner of gargantuan proportions. Bread(both sticks and rolls), sliced fresh mozzarella with tomatoes, pasta in tomato sauce with eggplant and mushrooms, steak with potatoes, and finished with tiramisu, as if the rest weren't enough.  Looking around at the relatively slim populace, I can't help wondering whether this honestly resembles their eating habits in any way at all.  Still, it was tasty.  I need to look up a synonym for "delicious" and "tasty" because it's getting redundant. Or maybe I could just stop talking about food all the time.  There's an idea. 

But speaking of food...this morning, the whole group came back to the island.  I've been sitting in a little cafe, drinking coffee, eating bread(again), and waiting for the rain to pass before making my way to St. Mark's with the throngs of other determined tourists who are fighting the weather.  I'm still not sure I want to shove my way through the crowd, but I can't sit here forever, and the waitstaff have been more than patient.  I suppose I will let them prepare for lunch service now.
