THE GRAND STORY OF THE SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE ADVENTURES OF BARON BRITPOP BLASTFURNACE
The Venetian Girl
Baron Britpop Blastfurnace • Part 18
The Venetian Girl
We boarded another gondola and started down a different canal. The canal was only about five meters wide, and the sun was sparkling on the water. Orange brick buildings lined both sides and cast shadows on the water. Many of the building windows had flower boxes with red flowers growing in them. It was a beautiful sight.
“Could you have imagined anything like this, Andelbert?” I asked.
“Never. I read about Venice in Baron Raspberry’s library. But this is beyond anything I imagined. It is breathtaking.”
“Where are we going?” I asked Jonas.
“Café Benedetti. They have delicious food for a good price. You will love it.”
“What kind of food do people eat in Venice?” Andelbert asked.
“Oh, it is mainly fish, crabs, pasta, rice, and bread. I know exactly what to order. If you trust me.”
“Of course. Since neither of us read or speak Italian, I am content to let you choose the food,” Andelbert answered.
