I have lots of pix to post, will add a few each day.

I am now feeling like a Venetian. It takes most of the morning to walk to Campo San Margherita, buy fruit & veg, have a cafe americano, battle the supermercarto!
Now there's a challenge. I was 20 minutes the other day deciding which flour to buy for a sauce! I don't even regognise the labels to make a guess at what things are. I try to buy something different and new each day. There are some wonderful cheeses, I bought one today which is somewhat like a cream one. Delicious with bread. I love watching the assistants wrap & pack each one, it is an art form.

There are some wonderful cake shops, and they are packaged so beautifully. There is a sweet pasta dusted with icing sugar, the size of sheetsof lasagne pasta mmmmmmmmmmmm.

At the wine bar nearby they make cichetti, venetian tapas, they are award winning & delicious.

Enjoy the photos.
