Venice Day Four


We had a full half day before leaving Venice, so we went to the Accademia art museum.

We liked the 14th and 15th century paintings.



After our museum trip, we headed to La Zucca to meet J. On our way across the bridge we saw a big boat.


La Zucca was also recommended by our friends M and E. They know who they are.


We began with an avocado salad that felicitously emphasized the avocado. That is a delicious mustard sauce in there, along with some olives and raw carrots.


S had rabbit with baby onions. It was succulent and delicious. Amagomundi endorses rabbit consumption wholeheartedly.

A and J shared a varied vegetarian dish. That is rice in the middle, and it is surrounded by (going clockwise) carrots, cabbage, broccoli, potatoes and spinach. It was very good. Almost as good as the salad J had (which quite unfortunately transcended digital photography). We washed it all down with prosecco. And a macchiato for dessert.

We went by the apartment to pick up our luggage and then we headed for the airport.


The vaporetto was packed. So was the bus to the airport.


A had plenty of time to read the newspaper at Venice's Marco Polo airport.


And for all you faithful readers out there, here is your final Italian fish display. Stay tuned for Barcelona fish displays coming in December! Find them, as always, at Amagomundi, LP.



A posthumous shout out to our boy, Jack Palance. You made Shane what it was.
