Italy from the Inside

A memorable Venetian coffee

August 17, 2006


Napoleon called the Piazza San Marco “the finest drawing room in Europe.” Imagine to be part of this enchanted picture, sitting right in front of the cathedral, ordering a coffee while listening to a live orchestra. The Caffe’ Florian is all that. Opened in 1720, this is Italy’s oldest Cafe’. If you are traveling on a budget, you may wish to hold off on this unique experience. A simple coffee with whipped cream is $12, and the ‘music supplement’ is $6 more. That’s what I call a memorable Venetian coffee…

Back from summer vacation in Italy

August 14, 2006


Some of you may have wondered why we haven’t updated our blog recently. Well… we were in Italy for almost a month, visiting relatives and exploring new areas, in particular the Apulia (Puglia in Italian) region in Southern Italy. We’ve come back with lots of new ideas for upcoming postings, photo-albums, screen-savers and more. By the way, anybody guessing where this picture has been taken?
