I'm having a "Yay, I didn't die of cancer!" celebratory holiday in Venice.
When I was too sick to move off the sofa without help, I vowed I would go to Venice the first moment I was strong enough. This week, I've managed to get my medication down to a quarter of what I was on at the start, and I can consistently do two articles a day and ride my bike all over Rome and go to class after work, so the time has come.
There's an el-cheapo train ticket for the slow train from Termini up the Adriatic side of the Boot. Six hours from Rome and lots of sights.
Going up for Immaculate Conception at the FSSP parish there and will spend Friday and Saturday nights camped out at a convent and walk all over the weirdest city in the world.
Got my Blue Guide (thanks Greg!) and a map, and my sketchbook and my rubber walkin' boots and I'm all excited!
Maybe even get an Acqua Alta!
Wouldn't that be cool!
Last trip in July 2010
More more more!
And here's a video for you from a band I was crazy about when I was 27

Do you get nauseous on those little boat thingies -the water looks very choppy? On the other hand do the English even get seasick?
