Venice

We had such a fabulous time in Venice - it is truly a beautiful city. Unfortunately the first rains of the year came on our first and last days there, but we did get to enjoy a wonderful middle day - the sights were fantastic, Piazza San Marco, the Rialto, Giovanni e Paolo Church, the Canale Grande, beautiful, can't wait to come back with Mike!



We had a really great hotel, Louise & Max had a great idea and recommended that we stay near the train station instead of dragging our luggage through town. We stayed at the Hotel Antiche Figure - our concierge looked like a European Richard Gere, but younger and cuter (just don't tell Mike) - Alessandro helped us find all kinds of great local things to see and eat. He even said MaryLou and I could have a job at the front desk if we wanted to stay in Venice.....
