About my Blog

With a combined love for food, travel and the written word, a blog is born. I have a passion for food - the textures, the tastes, the smells, and most importantly of all: the memories that go along with sharing a great meal with friends. I am spending a year in Germany with the ultimate goal of traveling as much as possible, eating as much as I can, and documenting it all for you to enjoy. We'll call this research for my future food establishment...which means I can write off all the money I spend on food. Right?

Venice Part 2

Last time we left off I was regaling you with our adventures in pick-pocketing...or rather, being the pick-pocketee. It seems like when something like this happens, a whole vacation can go downhill. I was on that fast track to grumpiness for sure. But seeing Claire handle the situation and be able to say, "well, shall we get some wine?" after it was all over kept me in high spirits. At our jobs in Garmisch, we work hard but don't make a lot of money. Claire had been saving up for this trip for quite some time and whoosh - her money was gone in an instant. Was our trip ruined? No. Thanks to Claire's positive attitude, we were able to salvage what time we had left to have fun.

We took a lot of pictures on the bridges in Venice, and of all the buildings. Even though it was raining out, everything was very beautiful. Here are a few pictures from our trip:

One of the things I like most about Venice are the buildings - always colorful!
