So sorry about the lack of activity over the last couple of days: our current hotel does not have the internet. I am told that our hotel in Verona will. At that stage, I hope to add more pictures of Venice from different people. By the time we get to Florence, if there is stable net there, I should be able to add pictures for Verona, Padua, and Florence. Yay!
What have we been doing the last few days, you ask? Too much to say. We've toured the city. Our guide, Rita, gave us wonderful historical and art historical information on Venice. Among many others, we've seen Saint Mark's, the Dogi's Palace, the Accademia, the Rialto, S.S. Giovani e Paulo (the largest church in Venice), and much much more.
Last night we went to the opera. And get this, none of us fell asleep. If you see pictoral evidence to the contrary, don't believe it. The pictures lie!
Pictures to look forward to: Hamish in new and exciting places, the new narrowest street in Venice (measured at 1 Brett and 2 shoulders), more Gondola pics, the Bridge of Tits! and lots of tits to go with it, etc.
Check back soon!
