Expanding my world

After feeding Charlotte and making myself a sandwich (two separate tasks, I assure you) I decided to go out and explore some more.

First I went over to the pedestrian zone and walked around. It's definitely much livelier there on a Friday night!

I even got myself a gelato. An odd thing? Because of the way I pronounced gelato and the flavor I wanted (zabliogne), the vendor assumed I was Italian! So I guess my accent has an accent.

I checked out the Roman ruins -- which really aren't so much ruins as just an old city gateway. No castle or anything around it. (And no gentleman's club that I could see.)

It's also being restored, so it was all closed off.

But I walked up behind it (up yet another very steep hill) and got some great views of St. Mark's Church, over the rooftops.

It's still a pretty hot, muggy day.

I hope it cools off enough so that I can take Charlotte out for a bit later.

Right now, she's content to just nap in a cool spot on the bathroom floor.

I may join her.
