biennale di venezia

So I have a fever and I can’t breath out of my face. It feels like a ton of bricks in my head and someone pounding on my chest. I went and got some flu tea from the farmacia and a couple other remedies suggested to me. I want this thing to go away, no ruining my trip dammit! We snuck onto the ferry that took us across the canal to san marco. We walked along the canal on our way to the biennale and ran into an exhibit on the way. Im pretty sure I will have to start a whole other blog for the happenings at the biennale so I wont get into specifics. There were a lot of interesting and very political things at this biennale, almost an overload. We were there for about 5 or 6 hours, and then we headed back to the other side. Bill, Horia, Dave and I ran into a great discount market where huge bottles of water were 12 cents and I bought 3 days worth of food for 6 euro. We had a picnic out by one of the canals at sunset and talked. I had pickled asparagus and basil olive oil artichokes on top of a rosemary foccacia bread, some fresh tomatoes and roasted red and yellow peppers. It was delicious and the sky was beautiful. Its time for some rest so I don’t feel like crap tomorrow.
