Venice

I woke this morning early to watch our sail into Venice. Beautiful!
Then I went and woke Carleigh and we met the Taskers at 10am. Their daughter Rose is in Venice to visit since she is studying in Vienna. We walked from the ship to Pl. Roma. We met Rose there at 10:30. We hoped a vaporetto (ferry) and headed to the island of Murano. Beautiful glass is made on Murano. We walked around a bit and then it started to rain a little so we stopped for a coffee. We then went to a factory and watched them blow glass. We stopped at a little store that was having a closing for the season sale. Carol and I both picked up a few little things. We had planned on going to Burano where they make lace but it was raining heavier by then so we headed to St Marks Square. By the time we got there it was pouring! We walked through the square on raised sidewalks (see photo). We were going to find a place for coffee to warm up but Carleigh and I decided we were too cold and wet so we went back and took the ferry back to Pl. Roma and then grabbed a taxi to the port. We where back on the ship by 3:45pm. Changed into dry clothes and headed up to the buffet for a bite since we hadn't eaten since breakfast. Came back to the cabin to try to get warm and had a little nap. Went to trivia tonight and then another small bite and then back to the cabin. I got a chill today and I am having a hard time getting warm. Hoping for some sun tomorrow but the weather is calling for more rain :(
We are in Venice until 2pm tomorrow.
Venice is amazing but the rain is dreadful!
Wayne you will have to bring me back here when the weather is warmer and dryer :)
