Got to Venice safely via British Airways Go. Plane was not towed or otherwise propelled by yak, in contrast to expectations from “budget European airlines”. Much pleased.

Spending a lot of time wading through other American tourists in Piazza San Marco, outnumbered only by pigeons. (See Dave’s post about bread cannon. Much needed.) Struggling to make self understood with small Italian phrases, but not sure if ordering check or asking for portion of fried yak. Somewhat problematic.

Otherwise having lovely time. Eating lots of Italian food and drinking lots of Italian wine. Will blog again soon.
