More Venice

I can't stop daydreaming about Venice, so here's another pic. This is a view from the Rialto Bridge. Maybe if I stare long enough I'll magically appear in one of those gondolas... Nope, I'm still here.

Gritti Palace

I'm totally smitten with the terrace at the Gritti Palace in Venice. Morning, noon or night it's the prettiest spot to sit and watch life float by on the bustling Grand Canal. There are two options: Club del Doge is an elegant restauant featuring seafood and Venetian specialties, and Bar Longhi serves cocktails and lighter fare. Cienti Anni!

Meersburg

Gutsschaenke in Meersburg, Germany, is a place I love to sit and enjoy a glass (or two) of White Burgundy. The wine from this region is crisp, fruity and quite sip-able! Meersburg is a medieval town built along a hillside in Southern Germany. Quaint shops and restaurants line the steep, cobble-stoned streets. You can shop and dine on traditional cuisine while enjoying a stunning view of the Swiss Alps.
