Another day of islands

Today after coffee we set off on a little island hop to San Giorgio Maggiore, we rode the elevator (because) to the bell tower and took in a view that everyone should experience. We went into the basilica looking for Tintoretto's "last supper", but it was being restored. It was my only reason for going there, but we had a blast anyways. Had a nice coffee at the cafe and set off on a guided tour of the 2018 installation of the "vatican chapels". 11 different architects deconstructed ides of chapels. Very interesting.
Another water bus out to Lazaro island, an Armenian monastary with the largest collection of Armenian manuscripts in the world. The guided tour was amazing, or at least, it would have been if it werent in Italian.
We finished the day with a nice glass of white and a couple ciccheti (tapas). What a great day.
