Today is Sandy’s birthday and when I got back late to the apartment it was the perfect time to call her and sing Happy Birthday. She is off to New York on Sunday through Friday with neighbor Joanne to see 3 performances on Broadway and eat themselves on all the great NY food. One day they are going to Brooklyn, specifically Coney Island, to see that part of the city and to get some good Ukrainian food.
I made lox and eggs today, then spent much of the day working on my photos from Venezia and updating the blog. I also spent several hours looking to find a better apartment but there are not a lot of good options. I made an appointment to see one Sunday at 12:30 near the Ponte Vecchio.
Tonight is dinner at Gervi’s a short walk away with N&M and Luisa’s (N&M's daughter) in-laws (Marco’s parents). It was interesting being able to understand some words, and I was able to add a few things in Italian about what I’ve been doing and details of my family. Then a short walk home.
