Ciao Followers of Bliss! As you read this I am boarding a flight for Venice and I want to salute you all for being so supportive and leave you for a bit with lasting images of Italy in anticipation of many more shots to come.
Please stay tuned tomorrow for our first guest blogger Come due Maiali (like 2 pigs in Italian). CDM are some of my dearest friends and are amazing food travelers. Please check out their piece on France and dive into their blog. Rumor has it these two pigs can dance like 2 angels.
Cheers to you all and enjoy the tour of Italy and some of my favorite bloggers over the next 25 days!

Ma che bello! I miss home so much!!! This is a beautiful post!
Just gorgeous photos!
Thank you!
You didn’t say you were going to Venice! I’m viridian …
PS Do pop across to Mazzorbo if you’re on the lagoon over Burano way. Venissa serves lunch too, and you’ll marvel at the work they’re doing on the old vineyard.
Very spirit-ual photo with Jesus and his Sacred Heart. Most ghost-like.
Love the assorted cheeses. Can’t get many decent cheeses here in Oz. I so miss good cheese!
Have a fabulous trip!
Brilliant! Love the second photo (of mozzarella and tomatoes)
Safe travels!
More food!!
A reever dirt cheap, y’all! That’s most a the French I know right dare, cept bonjovie, an I think ‘at’s fer when ya git back.
Love the pitchers!!
Aw crap… Sherry said I was talkin Italian, and I said that’s what I thought. Then she says, “Well how come you called French?” I told her if she’d a kept quiet I wouldn’t have knowed I called it French. Ya shoulda seen the look I got!
Enjoy Venice, spritz, ombre e cicheti!
