April 16-18 Venice

We spent three nights in Venice at a cute VRBO rental in the center of town. It was nice to get caught up on laundry as our unit had a washing machine. Thanks, Marcia, for arranging our lodging.
Venice is enchanting but can definitely overload your senses. It's very crowded, and one can easily get lost. Thank goodness for Google Maps.
It seemed like Randy and I took in every museum in the city, even though I know we missed many. The Museum of Natural History was a welcome change from Renaissance art. It had some modern exhibits, I found the historical displays more interesting but sad (lots of taxidermy and stealing from other cultures).
The opulence of the Doge's Palace is almost overwhelming, and it's such a contrast when you open the door leading to the Bridge of Sighs and into the prison.
All in all we had a great time In Venezia!Leer más
