We’ve got a pretty cool city. 20 years ago, that wasn’t the case. Not that we were uncool perse, but we lacked any sort of “destination”. For instance, downtown wasn’t a place you wanted to go. There wasn’t much to do or see and it was sort of…well, depressing. But over the past decade or…

K&R Italy: Oh Venice
Day Two: Venice: Vaporetti, Casanova, & Cicchetti We packed everything up, got an Uber from our hotel in Milan to the train station and began our 2.5 hour train journey to Venice!
