The weekend was fun. Went to visit a friend's place in Oderzo, Veneto. Lovely
town, but the fact that you need a car to go anywhere... I just can't. On
saturday we got to S. Dona' at around 12, walked around a bit, visited the
saturday market and then ate a chantilly cream filled frittella at a local
bakery shop. My friend then picked us up and we got home for some lunch. I was
really full by the end of it.
For lunch we ate some pasta with ragù, wurstels and some kind of salame. The
second course was a dish akin to beef wellington, as in it was meat with
multiple layers on top (I'm not sure what each layer was). All of this was
preceded by some libanesi with some cured meats as the appetizer. All of this
served with some Spritz, 'cause of course, we're in veneto after all (like, I
saw a bunch of people drinking either spritz or straight prosecco as breakfast,
and not just old people, it was pretty much everyone).
After lunch we went to visit Serravalle, another lovely town, a bit quieter
than Oderzo and a bit run down, most of the walls were turning gray from the
wear.
Then came the Tarzo's turn, this is were the squinting girl lives. She
showed us around the lake. Great place if you like to live quietly and
surrounded by nature, personally I found it a bit too isolated and again, with
the need for a car to get around I could never. The lake (the whole area really)
was a vibe tho.
Before leaving we went to Osteria dal Becher, that too was a vibe. The only
thing it was missing was some seats by the bar (yes, I do like to talk with the
bartender some times).
For dinner we went to a "sagra", we got there by 7:45PM, ordered at 8:30PM and started eating at 9:15PM. As you can see we waited a while, but the food was delicious. We had to share some polenta, sausages, ribs and some fries. For myself I got some gnocchi with ragù.
We then went to Ceggia 'cause we heard there was a party there. It wasn't
much. Almost no one was dancing and the DJ kept switching songs every 30s, with
the worst transitions and nonmatching songs. We got free spritz tho.
The following day in the morning we visited Oderzo, like I said, lovely town. It had multiple archeological sites, mainly roman domus. I could see myself living there since you don't really need a car if you live in the town itself. You still need it to get to a train station but still better than Tarzo.
In the afternoon the main event, Ceggia's carnival festival. We got there by
2:15PM~ and watched the parade with the carts. They were huge, most of the carts
reached the 3rd floor (floor 0 + 3 for you americans) of the houses they were
passing by.
Had a fun time, didn't get the opportunity to mend the things I wanted to but still...
