Back to Venice!

Image
We ventured into Venice today.  It was a 2 hour trip from our place outside Trieste, but it was very worth it.   We met my best friend and his wife from University 39 (!) years ago. Iona had an opportunity to see Venice and all of its offerings. And we got to got back to the same restaurant we went to 10 years ago with Mom and Dad.

We found a local place for dinner up the hill from Gavorica, a bit of a hike.  But it was worth it. We ended the meal with a bit of local plumb brandy.
