Out tour took us from Florence to Venice where we spent the day
and evening. You get to Venice by a large boat, Then go down
the big canals in a large motorboat and the small canals in a
Gondola.
Besides boating, we went to see a glass blower, Felicia bought
a watch and we shopped and drank coffee. Did you get a good
deal on that watch?
The Grand Canal in Venice. Venice is very beautiful
and very wet. Sometimes it smells very old and I would
not want to fall into any of the canals. Other than a
slight smell, it is very romantic.

Downtown Venice - the Grand Canal was
the largest canal, and the busiest
A Gondola. The Gondoliers use a pole to
move the Gondola through the shallow canals.
We all rode in a Gondola with a musician and
a singing Gondolier
Lunch in Venice. After a hard morning
of walking, a cold beer and a hot
pressed panini sandwich go good
together.
Larry and Susie in Venice at the sidewalk
café. They look happy. I think that they
were just glad to sit down.

Kendra had a lot of fun feeding the pigeons in St.
Marks Square.
Evening in Venice.
We did not want
to start going back
to Rome so soon.
Kendra with her friends Vilma and Maria in Rome on
our last night of the trip. We were dining at a restaurant
that had famous Italian Tenors singing music while we
ate. This was our last night to drink bottles of wine and
say goodbye to our new friends.
