Ciao Venezia!!!

July 16th - Venezia

I will not be disappointed to leave Venice. It was something to see, and I'm glad I did, but I am ready to move on to Florence, where there will be so much to see. I will more than likely return to Venice some day - when the weather is milder, and walking the streets will be more comfortable, but for now, it is enough.

The highlight of Venice for me was the Peggy Guggenheim Museum. It has the finest collection of contemporary art. We got lost trying to find it. When you ask an Italian for directions, everything is always "just to the right," or "just to the left." One man tried to tell us where the museum was and then finally just threw up his hands and walked us over there.

Another hot day, but no matter how hot it is, we know we can always find cool refuge in a museum.
