I'm still having computer problems, mainly I don't know what the issue is! It has to do with my external hard drive, so I guess I'll have to get someone up here to help me...maybe. So I got the computer unlocked so-to-speak, and thought I would hurry and make a post!
Getting back to Venice...what a transition in lifestyle from concrete sidewalks and cars and horns to waterways and pedestrians only. It was pretty cool just coming into Venice. All the old stone buildings and bridges - did I mention bridges?? ;) There are small bridges over each waterway. Coming into the city by air, keep in mind you have to lug your luggage to whichever hotel you are staying in. So this is an adventure in itself. But all in all, we found the Venetians pretty happy to see us and welcomed us with open arms too! The first night we found a restaurant actually not very far from our hotel, and we didn't mind as we were so tired and the restaurant 'barker' pulled us in anyway! We had a bit of a wait, but it was fun people watching. The food was pretty good as I recall. I took pictures of some of our dishes along the way, but not this night. We walked around at night and of course made our first purchases of mementos: mostly magnets. I must have been excited because when I got home and unpacked I had purchased more than enough magnets. What was I thinking??
