Wow! It sure takes a long time to get kids to blog their comments about our activities!Today was another eventful day. Lots of sights, and a reasonable amount of walking. Highlights today included the Doge's Palace, the Arsenal Shipyards and Naval Museum, the Jewish Gheto (no, I have not spelled it incorrectly), Basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari (resting place of Titian), and dinner near the Rialto Bridge. Doesn't sound like much, but once again, our day was packed with sights to see.
It was interesting to see the architectural difference between the city of Venice and the Jewish gheto, but the highlight for me had to be the Doge's Palace. A beautiful multi-functioning structure, centrally located next to the Basilica del San Marco...definitely worth taking a look at (especially with a fantastic English-speaking guide)! I enjoyed the wonderful history lesson given by Carlo today!
Mr. Yon
It makes me tired just reading about all the sites and activities that you manage to pack into a day. Hard to believe that tomorrow will be your last full day in Venice. Make the most of it because you will be back in chilly Saanen before you know it.
