Can't build here....more Roman ruins!

---

Grado is on an island, about an hour's drive north of Venice. It's harbor is in the middle of town, with a canal leading out to the Adriatic Sea. We strolled around town in the evening and stumbled upon some Roman ruins, all lit up with glass walkways over the top. Can you imagine going to build something and digging into Roman ruins? Amazing! We ended up at a popular basement restaurant serving local seafood and, of course, pasta. We noticed several other parties drinking a white liquid after dinner. It looked like milk, but they were sipping it slowly as if it were very strong. The waitress explained that it is lemon sorbet with vodka and citron liqueur in it. We passed.

The next morning we went down to the beach for a walk and to touch the Adriatic before heading out. You can just imagine how crowded this beach would be in the middle of summer...
