Venezia

Wow! Can't believe it's Thursday!  We left our agriturismo on Monday and traveled by train from Firenze to Venezia. It was a chilly, grey day, and drizzling when we arrived, around 1:45 p.m. We decided to avoid the high cost of a water taxi, and walk to our apartment. About 20 minutes. It was a slog...heavy bags, and I've been fighting a cold. Pretty exhausted on arrival. Photo from our living room window on arrival Monday.

Anyway, we've now had 2 1/2 days here, the sun has finally emeged! What a wondeful difference. We've done a lot of wandering in the ubiquitous alleyways. I've been taking Italian language lessons in the mornings while John's been painting. Only one classmate...a gal from Sydney. We've really hit it off. Here's some sun:
