Capisce?

We took the train from Florence on the 14th - a quick three hour ride - and spent a day and a half in Venice. We sat by these cute little Italian kids on the train who were apparently just learning how to speak English, because they kept asking us questions like: What's your name?  How old are you? What's your favorite color? Do you have pets? etc.  It was pretty fun-slash-interesting trying to talk to them, being that we didn't know a lick of Itailan.  We had to refer to my Italian Phrasebook which wasn't all that helpful.  The little 4 year old kept saying things in Italian, then looking at me like I was nuts because I wasn't answering, and just couldn't comprehend the fact that I did not capisce.

We stayed in a cute hostel about five minutes from the train station right in the middle of the city.  We had our own room there which was a nice change.  There wasn't a whole lot to do in Venice, but we saw a few sights and ended up taking a gondola ride, which was actually kind of fun!
