One day on a trip to Italy we went to Venice for the day. I was with my Aunt and Uncle and 13 other travelers who were either family or friends. The time past as we explored the sites and it became time for lunch. Unfortunately most places were closed for the afternoon except the outdoor cafes. My Uncle remembered seeing a big lobster in the window of one of the restaurants we past while site seeing. We went back to this restaurant only to find it closed. Well he told us all to wait and he went inside. The next thing we knew, we were being ushered in to a big dining room in the back of the restaurant. Someone made the comment "I wonder how he got them to let us in"? My reply was, "I guess he made them an offer they couldn`t refuse." It was one of many memorable moments on my trip to Italy I`ll never forget.
