Last days in Venice

Took a walking tour with a private guide, Ileana, a Venitian, who offered interesting architectural, historical and cultural info about Venice. She took us to fascinating places we would not have found as tourists. Then we toured the Palace of the Doge, and it is there that you get the true sense of power held by those who controlled Venice, hand in hand with God! (or so theyconvinced the people)
Anita wrote the next bit- I am taking a break.
Had an interesting day wandering all over the area near the Jewish Ghetto, train station etc.

Decided to find out if there was a way into train station that would not involve steps. We found it, and in the train station, who did we run into but the wonderful couple who hauled all our suitcases and found our hotel for us. So in Venice we only knew John & Judy, and that couple, and ran into both of them in an hour!

Just freshening up in the hotel, and have decided to go near San Marco Square and eat there. We had a really great lunch - fresh sea bass and Pinot grigio, a little pasta and clams. Ho hum!

Have had a wonderful time in Venice, and feel we have covered a lot of ground. Just enough time, actually.
