The goal here was to get up as early as possible and get to the market to get zucchini flowers to stuff and fry using the the technique I learned last night at Oliva Nera.  We made it, bought flowers, explored a little and then cruised over to Osteria alla Botte for some cicchetti.  A friend had taken us to this place on a previous trip and we had really liked it and our return trip did not disappoint.  We had white polenta, schie, shrimp, octopus, baccala, sarde (a traditional onion and sardine dish), and cold seafood salad with celery.  Go here.

Next we visited some churches and a posh new five star hotel and bough some new glasses at another shop we knew from a previous trip.  They sell very cool frames so check them out here.

We ate dinner at a very reasonable (for Venice) pizza place called Birraria.  Bad service, good food.  Vaporetto home.  Click on any photo below to see a super huge version of it!  Put your little pointer over them for more info….  Cool, right?  nerdy.
