Venice, Day 2, Part 1 (Or, if I don't post something I'll never finish)

We woke up the next day and went downstairs for breakfast, which would be representative of our breakfasts, up until we arrived in Rome. First, someone came by and asked what we would like to drink - un cafe (Mr D) e un cappuccino, per favore. Then we went over to the table with the spread: a bowl of mixed fruit, croissants, plain rolls, sliced salami, sliced cheese, granola and yogurt. Yes, I did proceed to eat salami and cheese for breakfast for the next 8 days. It was Delicious!

After breakfast we wandered to St. Mark's square to go to the basilica, but the line had wrapped all the way around to the edge of the Doge's Palace. It was a bit cloudy, and we didn't want to wait in the potential rain, so we went to the top of the campanile, or bell tower. We spent at least half an hour up there, just looking out over Venice. There are some pictures in the roll, which I took from the tower, and then one of Mr D taking my picture with the background, and then one where you just see us in front of a grill because the Asian tourist offered to take our picture, but forgot to include the view behind us.
