Adieu to Venice
And I bid fair Venice farewell this morning. The trains were mostly sold out but I managed to find a very slow regional train to bring me back to Rome, where I will be for Easter.
I didn’t leave Venice without buying a pair of Birkenstocks. Score one for the hippie. Easter in Rome is going to be pretty spectacular, and I’m going to try my best to keep up with the writing.
I arrived in Rome tonight and attended a Good Friday service at the oldest Greek Catholic church in Rome. We processed with the shroud outside into the street as local italians and tourists alike took a break from their cafe and restaurant meals to take a look at teh curious sight of candle bearing solemn people singing and marching around the street. Only a few cars honked.
