I have to make this really short because we are all trying to get ready to go spend the day in Duino.
Yesterday:
Left Venice. Went very smoothly.
Stopped in Aqueleia at Ai Due Leoni restaurant, recommended by my ST friend Deborah. Food great, setting great, rustic, almost rural but on the road to Grado. Saw a beautiful nest of baby swallows there. Great mixed seafood platter.
Arrive in Trieste: NEVER RENT SOMETHING WITHOUT RELIABLE REVIEWS. Long story short. The apartment sucked. Moved to Residence San Giusto–no problem but A/C not really working and jack hammers outside from 8am. Picked up Kev and Amy at the train station with the car. A minor miracle that we got there and found them. Took us a long time driving back but everyone’s happy.
Had a nice seafod dinner here at San Marco Ristorante. Happy to be together.
Stayed up very late trying to figure out what to do next.
