snacks in Venice

Stopping in at one of my fave places in Venice
(I first came here 46 years ago!) for
an ombra bianco or a spritz con Aperol
and some tasty cicchetti.

and Our World Tuesday.]

Cent' anni!

A little vicarious trip to Italy
by way of Virginia:
prosecco + Aperol + seltzer
= uno spritz.

Thursday Challenge—"beverages"

Here in the States, a group of college students
would probably order a pitcher of beer
(or at this time of day—noon-ish—maybe a
round of Cokes).  But in Venice, they go for what
seems to be the official drink of the city (and
my fave), uno spritz: Prosecco, seltzer, and Aperol
(with a couple of big green olives for sustenance).

uno spritz a l'Aperol

My favorite thing to drink, but try 

ordering it in the States.

In Venice, everyone drinks it, at cafes . . .

   and also at bacari, where they serve

delicious cicchetti (the Venetian version of tapas).
