  Ciao, buon giorno! Venice es molto bene! I am in an Internet cafe. Never been to one before and didn't expect to but figured what the hell? I'm staying at the Hotel Castello, it overlooks St. Mark's Square and the canal grande. Visited shops in St. Mark's Square, Basilica San Giorgio Maggiore and took a gondola ride on the canal today. My limited Italian isn't a problem here because many shop owners and locals speak a fair amount of English. A presto, arrivedrci!
