It’s much smaller than Venice, and we were there on a Sunday in August. It was practically deserted, but we ate some pizza at Pizzeria Sant’Agostino di Mansi Patrizia, and it was so good I’m still thinking about it, and we wandered the streets. Treviso has a mini canal system like Venice, it was fun to just walk along the water and in and out of the streets.</p> <p><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2017/08/29/wandering-treviso-cortina-and-bologna/" class="more-link">Read more on Wandering Treviso, Cortina, and Bologna…</a></p> </div> </div>  <div class="bar"> <div class="share">  <a class="share-twitter" onclick="window.open('http://twitter.com/home?status=Wandering Treviso, Cortina, and Bologna - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2017/08/29/wandering-treviso-cortina-and-bologna/','twitter','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Wandering Treviso, Cortina, and Bologna - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2017/08/29/wandering-treviso-cortina-and-bologna/" title="Wandering Treviso, Cortina, and Bologna" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>  <a class="share-facebook" onclick="window.open('http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2017/08/29/wandering-treviso-cortina-and-bologna/','facebook','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2017/08/29/wandering-treviso-cortina-and-bologna/" title="Wandering Treviso, Cortina, and Bologna" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a> <a class="share-google" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2017/08/29/wandering-treviso-cortina-and-bologna/" onclick="window.open('https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2017/08/29/wandering-treviso-cortina-and-bologna/','gplusshare','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;"><i class="fa fa-google-plus"></i></a> <a onClick="MyWindow=window.open('http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2017/08/29/wandering-treviso-cortina-and-bologna/&media=https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0266_edited-1.jpg&description=Wandering Treviso, Cortina, and Bologna','MyWindow','width=600,height=400'); return false;" style="cursor:pointer;" target="_blank" id="pinterest-share"><i class="fa fa-pinterest"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="masonr"> <div class="post post-16949 type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-food category-adventures-outings category-outside category-travel tag-summer tag-travel tag-vacation">   <a class="featured-image" href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2017/08/28/we-spent-last-week-in-italy/" title="We Spent Last Week in Italy"><img width="565" height="424" src="https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0235_edited-1-565x424.jpg" class="attachment-medium-image size-medium-image wp-post-image" alt="" srcset="https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0235_edited-1-565x424.jpg 565w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0235_edited-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0235_edited-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0235_edited-1-590x443.jpg 590w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0235_edited-1-976x732.jpg 976w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0235_edited-1.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 565px) 100vw, 565px" /></a> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="frame"> <div class="title-wrap"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2017/08/28/we-spent-last-week-in-italy/" title="We Spent Last Week in Italy">We Spent Last Week in Italy</a></h2> <div class="title-meta"> <span><i class="fa fa-user"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/author/admin/" title="Posts by jackie" rel="author">jackie</a></span> <span><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2017/08/28/">August 28, 2017</a></span> <span class="categories"><i class="fa fa-align-justify"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/category/old-blog/eating-stuff/food/" rel="category tag">Food</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/category/old-blog/playing/adventures-outings/" rel="category tag">Outings</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/category/old-blog/outside/" rel="category tag">Outside</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/category/old-blog/travel/" rel="category tag">Travel</a></span> <span class="tags"><i class="fa fa-tag"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/summer/" rel="tag">summer</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/travel/" rel="tag">Travel</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/vacation/" rel="tag">vacation</a></span> </div> </div> <div class="post-content"> <p>I 聽haven’t posted for a while, but it’s summer, and work has been in full swing, and we’ve been gearing up for this European vacation before school starts.
