After a taxi, a bus, an airplane, a taxi, a water taxi and short walk, we arrived at our hotel in Venice, Italy on Tuesday evening. We found a place for dinner, ate, went back to the hotel and slept. Wednesday was a slow day for us, everyone slept in and we made sure everyone was able to email home and then we went to a nearby laundry mat to do some laundry. Chris took the girls around for a little shopping and sightseeing while I stayed with the laundry. When that was done and everyone had clean clothes in their bags we went back out so they could show me around and then found a very welcoming place for dinner with friendly waiters. We all enjoy trying each others food when we are at dinner and everyone is willing to share their food and try new things.
Thursday we did a little sight seeing in the morning. We went to St. Marks’s Square to look around and then found our way to the Grand Canal and the Rialto Bridge, one of only 3 bridges that cross the Grand Canal.
That afternoon we went on a gondola ride. I think everyone had a fun time!!!! Our gondolier pointed out important landmarks and even sang to us as we rode through the canal.
We did a little more shopping (really, a whole lot of shopping with all of these girls). Then we came back the hotel and found some pizza to bring back here to eat for dinner. The weather is much warmer and humid here than any other place we have been so far. At least the hotel has air conditioning.
I am working on sending more pictures...... Diane
