Rome, Italy to
Venice, Italy We leave Rome and head over to Venice. Along the way, we stop at a small resort town on
Lake Garda, Sirmione. During the summer time, is impossible to get around in due to all the tourists but it was off season and it was deserted. The main attraction for me, was the castle!!! Beautiful, and the perfect spot for the next P.O.N. I climbed around in there while everyone else explored the town. We only had about 40 minutes until we had to be back on the bus, so it was a short trip but worth it. I can't find the name of the town nor castle on Google, so I'll have to post that info later- sorry folks!
We get into Venice and check into our hotel,
The Air Motel Mestre (whose outside I can't remember for the life of me). We find our room, and it is below par shall we say. The comforters look disgusting, the walls are dirty, there's mold in the shower. Just plain nasty. We head down to dinner and it's lasagna (that looks like it was a frozen dinner) and for dessert, they give each table
P.O.N. Sirmione
Rocca Scaligera Castle a bowl of apples. We fought back the urge to burn the comforters and us gals (Luna, Mana, myself and Natasha) settled down in our room to play some Crazy Eights (I think that was the game.) However, we decided to spice up the name of the game and changed it to Dildo. Someone would lose a hand, they became the "D". Someone would lose the 2nd hand, they became the "I". Etc until the game was over. We were on the 2nd hand when someone rang our doorbell (yes, these horrid rooms had doorbells.) I opened the door and no one was there. I peaked around a corner and saw a male head duck behind a wall. I thought it was Ashton and Kent being funny, so I yelled, "Come on in guys, we're playing dildo!" Three heads popped out from around the corner, none were Ashton and Kent. They were some other guys from the tour. They followed me into the room with high hopes of what they were about to see, and were very disappointed with just a card game and promptly left. We all laughed at me yelling "dildo" in the hallway though. Later on, Natasha
started singing "White Christmas" when I interrupted with my own verses: 'I'm dreaming of clean sheets, and a blanket! Just like the ones I used to know. Where the stains weren't suspicious, and the meals were delicious, and in the halls you hear them scream "Dildo!" I think Bing Crosby would have liked my version. And, surprise surprise, dinner makes me sick. At this point, I've given up on ever eating normal again (until I return to the States that is.) Hell of a weight loss plan- I'm guessing I've lost 10 pounds so far.
We call it a night and prepare for a full day in Venice tomorrow.

Merry Christmas
Was thinking of you on Christmas, well everyday but in paticular, Christmas. I hope it was a good day for you. It was very low key here. Sorry that stomach of yours is acting up so much. It really does throw a monkey wrench things into things. As always your photos are gorgeous. I really enjoy them. Stay safe. Laugh lots and stop yelling things out at people until you know if they are friend or fo. HA HA
