Back in February when we booked our trip for Fallas in March we had no idea that the girls had TWELVE days off of school for Easter break. When I flipped the calendar over Mitch said it must have been a typo. But sure enough, it’s common practice in Europe to take a long break for the holiday.
So we decided to go to Italy! Leah specifically has put a tour through the Venice Canals on her list of must-do’s. Here we go! We’re spending a week in Italy for Easter break!
Venice is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. There are no cars on the island…not even any bikes. It would be hard to manage them going up and down all the stairs for all the bridges. Even the Uber eats and Glovo delivery guys just strap a pack on their back and go. It’s so great to just navigate little alleyways and sidewalks everywhere we go.
Upon arrival we kept seeing an Easter pastry, so of course we looked it up and got one! The Colomba Pasquale, dates back to the 15th century. It is a sweet bread (similar to a pannetone) with almonds and powdered sugar on top, the inside has Citrus marmalade and honey. At first we thought it was in the shape of a cross but it’s actually a dove. We enjoyed celebrating with it on Easter morning. He has risen indeed.
