I didn't cook enough....

I really was lazy this trip. Most of the time was spent resting, reading, relaxing and drinking Prosecco. Sadly, I had promised Roberto that I would get up every morning, put on my walking clothes and trek off to the Rialto for the makings of extravagant salads. This was what I had aspired to. What really transpired was woke up late, made a coffee, read a while---I did finish Cutting for Stone---got dressed, called Roberto and headed off to Cafe Aurora in Piazza San Marco.
It didn't help that I was really sick, really. A nasty sore throat, stuffy head, fever thing hit me hard on day 2. There was one day that I walked though. I got up, dressed, stretched and ran out the door. Took the traghetto to the Rialto and walked all the way to the Carmini where my friend Christina lives to feed her cat Penelope. Problem was that once I arrived I couldn't get the door open. After many futile attempts and a long chat with Penelope through the door, I gave up and marched back home.
I did stop at the Rialto for some fresh veggie photos.


Love the colors!
