Here is the food edition I promised. Certainly not every meal because I mostly ate first and thought about pictures later. Still it's a good sample. Enjoy!
Venice in the heart of the action at Florian's Cafe in St. Mark's Square:
Tea, sandwiches and mint hot chocolate
Venice near apartment
beef with mushroomscarbonara!!Both excellent as was the spaghetti I deleted somehow.
Venice, near the Rialto--Spritz Jenn told me to try. We saw them all over the city and a few in Rome as well.
Our second visit to Florian's. I was enjoying a sundae with fresh fruit when Bob and Denise arrived. More tea and sandwiches followed.

My usual Parisian breakfast: cafe au lait and quiche lorraine
