What we really want to do is talk with the people we meet as we ride the Vaporettos and visit St. Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace and the museums.
A Vaporetto (water bus)
We're doing the best we can, but we wish we didn't have to rely on understanding of our our sad Italian (or our English) for real communication to take place! What we especially wish is that we could talk with the waiters and owners and fellow patrons of the little osterias we choose for dinner each night.
By the way, does anyone notice any similarities in our choices of beverages bevandae for our dinners below?
Osteria Vivaldi - Dinner #1
Osteria Diavolo L'Aquasanta - Dinner #2
