Carnival

Feeling a little homesick for New Orleans, missing out on all the Saints celebrations + another Mardi Gras. We packed up our bags + headed over to Venice to fill the Carnival void!

Venice did not disappoint...we caught the very start of the celebrations, we threw on some masks + ran into various mini-marching groups along the way. We traded our usual Mardi Gras beer for wine + tasted some amazing local food! We ended up stumbling upon a little oesteria, Ai Rusteghi, serving up some heavenly little fresh paninis (I'm a sucker for miniature sized foods). Venice is enchanting, leaving me eager to see more of Italy...
