Treviso, Italia

Written by Ben on August 22, 2006 |

Treviso is located about thirty kilometers north of Venice, and this is where I spent a few days hanging out with friends. I was welcomed into a great family’s home; I was stuffed me with incredible home cooked Italian food, extra food was abound since I was there during a national holiday; and I got to see more of the Italian countryside. Ah life was good.

My trip went like so:

I arrived in the afternoon after a journey that began early in the morning, and which had made me feel absolutely restless. I looked like hell when I arrived, but it did not stop my friends from taking me out about the town. So we walked about Treviso’s old city center and stopped for some food and Spritz. The Spritz, this time, did not seem so bitter as it was in Venice… it actually was quite drinkable.

The town is quite small, and we got through walking and relaxing pretty early. So what we did was continue on into the night with a pub crawl, which centered around a locally made specialty: Prosecco. Prosecco is a sparkling wine, a competitor to Champagne… and tastes just as good. In anticipation to becoming too inebriated, we snacked on more local food. Pictured below was a nice little deep fried finger food (I forget what it was called). And we finally ended up at the beach area, which felt a lot like Santa Monica 3rd street Promenade, to close off that night… with gelato. I couldn’t get enough gelato in the hot Mediterranean weather.

What, nothing else? Well, just rinse and repeat. Great, great times.
