Today started out early with a 7:00 am taxi ride to the train station for a hour ride to Venice. There was a speed indicator at the end of the train car and at one point it indicated 160 km per hour. I do not know how accurate it was but it did not seem like 99 miles per hour, however it was fast....

| I was so touched to see that upon our arrival in Venice they had sailed a boat in front of us named after me |
 |
| Beautiful glass art |
 |
| One can not resist purchasing glass art when visiting Murano |
 |
| A gondola ride is a must when visiting Venice. I was getting ready to sing for the girls when we heard a beautiful operatic voice come echoing down the canal saving them... |
 |
| Two must have paintings that we saw. Now we are trying to figure where they are going to fit in the house. |
 |
| The famous Rialto Bridge. What is interesting is that the bridge is actually quite wide with vendor stalls on each side of it as seen below. |
Shirl has mastered Italian in just three days, she points, nods, and grunts approval. It seems to work...
Tomorrow is a down day. Instead of going back to Venice we are going to just take a day off and rest our tired bodies. Thursday we hope to go up north to Lake Gardo.
Good Night,
