Italy: Venice in 30 minutes or your money back
So about 9 people got sick from the food in Croatia. I was not one of them. That's a good thing.
Here's how our day in Italy went: We drove through to Venice and discovered that the place we were sent was not anywhere near S. Marco's Plaza (which is what you must see in Venice). We waited on a taxi boat, because Venice is a bunch of Islands, and had 30 minutes to see San Marco's before we had to catch the taxi boat back. I waited in line to see the Cathedral, was informed that you couldn't take bags in the cathedral, and by the time I found where you check your bags and made my way back, all my friends were out of the Cathedral. So I ate a Panini instead.
We continued to Vicenza where we sang two nights ago. The city is beautiful and lively, and as a special added bonus, the kids from HUF got up here. Some of them who were Chorus members sang the concert with us, and we all sang and laughed and had a good time. Afterward, we were given free time to see the city. So I ate some Gelato.
We drove through the most beautiful countryside ever to Zürich, Switzerland, where we are now. We have the morning and afternoon off, but because today is Pentecost the only thing open are the shops and restaurants in the Hauptbonhof (bus station). Tonight, we sing somewhere and tomorrow, we get a guided tour of Zürich before moving on to other things.
Coming up: The rest of Switzerland.

Hi,
Whats in a Panini?
There are no such things as tornados. Chuck Norris just hates trailer parks.

So did you not eat in Croatia, and made up for it in Venice?

What is up with the Chuck Norris joke series?

Regan: a Panini is grilled sandwich.
Randy: I did eat in Croatia. It seems that all the people who got sick were sitting at the same table for dinner, so they must have gotten a bad serving.
The Chuck Norris joke series has been running between Regan and me for a few months now - during the semester he would call and leave them on my voicemail when I was in rehearsal.

The Chuck Norris Jokes are for Allen's enjoyment. He told me about them so I am sharing the love since he would be w/o Chuck and Jack Bauer jokes in Europe. In Europe they have David Hasselhoff jokes...or is he a joke...I don't remember

Anyway Randy there are a few Chuck Norris Jokes that can be thrown your way... for example:
Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.
Kryptonite has been found to contain trace elements of Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks to the face. This is why it is so deadly to Superman.
Chuck Norris was the fourth wise man, who gave baby Jesus the gift of beard, which he carried with him until he died. The other three wise men were enraged by the preference that Jesus showed to Chuck's gift, and arranged to have him written out of the bible. All three died soon after of mysterious roundhouse-kick related injuries.
The original draft of The Lord of the Rings featured Chuck Norris instead of Frodo Baggins. It was only 5 pages long, as Chuck roundhouse-kicked Sauron’s butt halfway through the first chapter.
Superman once watched an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger. He then cried himself to sleep.
In a fight between Batman and Darth Vader, the winner would be Chuck Norris.
The original title for Alien vs. Predator was Alien and Predator vs Chuck Norris. The film was cancelled shortly after going into preproduction. No one would pay nine dollars to see a movie fourteen seconds long.
