I'm Brian Tetta, Executive Producer of The View.

It's Thursday and I'm joined by Alyssa Farra Griffin.

This is behind the table. All right it is Thursday. It's our fourth show back from break. It feels like we've been here for

long yeah long stretch of time but it's our first time speaking on the

podcast with you since the break how was your trip to Italy every day we

ask someone about their trip to Italy how is yours? I know a very popular

destination it was so much fun so I had pushed my husband I'd never been to

Venice I've been to Italy I'd been to Florence Milan but I was just

dynasty Venice everyone if they get the opportunity should see it once Lawrence, Milan, but I was just Dynasty Venice.

Everyone, if they get the opportunity,

should see it once in their life.

It's magnificent.

It felt like something out of a story book,

just the views and the culture and the architecture and everything.

The downside, which I'm sure Joy talked about, it was unseasonably cold.

It's already not that warm in that part of Italy in late April but it was the hotel kept saying oh we're

so sorry is 15 degrees warmer last week so I'm like had to buy a jacket when I

was there couldn't make use of the pool, but overall it was amazing.

I love Italian foods, my favorite cuisine too,

so we just ate exceptionally the whole time.

But I missed you.

We only overlapped by a day, I think.
