We maneuvered around to find our check in spot, not where we were staying, and then made our way to our apartment. Getting off the train and carrying all our gear has been Kay's least favorite part of the trip, something I frequently remind her of when she wants to go shopping.
Her first taste of true Italian food left her, as it does most, weak in the knees and glad to be sitting. She asked if it was all like this and I assured her that it was. We didn't go on a gondola, but we did ride the water taxi all over including out to Movano to see the glass making factory. Our luck with short lines continued and we didn't have to wait anywhere. The weather was fantastic, although we did get a bit of a rain storm one evening that did come with some really nice lightening.
More to come about Italy. I hope I get it all in since we are going to be returning home in about a week. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone and watching some Duck domination and some NFL, at least at a normal hour, not 2:00 am.
Ciao
The Piazza San Marco. The most famous Piazza in Venice with the Royal Palace and great clock tower that seems to lean and a HUGE space filled with people from all over.
Kay and I in the Piazza San Marco. I am getting really good at iPhone pictures.
The Grand Canal. In the background you can see one of the famous churches. Review from previous blogs for names and pictures.
A little bit of Venice traffic. Kay now understands by what I mean when I said, "no roads".
The rain got a little wild our second night but the lightening show was pretty impressive and continuos for about 20-30 minutes.
A side canal just outside our apartment on the second floor.
The fresh fish market. It is really big and you can find any kind of fish, caught fresh and brought in that day.
Any kind of fish!
No Kay, there is not a tre piato.
