Still busy. :) I had to take a couple days off because both my washer and dryer died. Merry Christmas to me, bought them both from Lowe's. The first washer delivered didn't work so they had to deliver another. At least it's not like last year when my oven died the second week of December. :facepalm: And I'm not caught up here either. :D

Sympathy like. It seems like we've had more than our share of appliance breakdowns this year:(

Day 5 & 6 of the Adventure.... October 24 & 25

Getting up at the crack of dawn, Saturday Morning, we traversed the path back to the Opera House, loaded with our baggage once again and caught the shuttle back to the airport. We caught a ValueJet flight to Venice. It was amazing to me how well thought out all the transportation in Europe is. The airport was along the canal of Venice and all it took was a minor walk from the terminal to the water taxi's to bring us to the center of Venice. We found our hotel easily and quickly settled in. We went for a walk to get ourselves acclimated to the area and (and I know I will catch some grief for this as well) had dinner at Hard Rock just a short distance from the hotel. During our two day stay we ate mostly at sidewalk and local dining establishment consuming the legally required amount of pasta and pizza. We went to St. Marks Square which was extremely crowded on Sunday. It was crowded because, of all days to be there, Sunday they held a local Marathon run. I'm not sure how that worked out, but, I suspect that running on the road would be fairly wet and probably slow one up.

I remember Venice from my previous trip in the late 60's and remember how tranqual it was there. I also notice, to their credit, that the canals were much, much cleaner then they were back then.

Sunday night we went to a concert that featured a string quartet and solo Oboist. It was held in an old church that was probably hundreds of years old (can't remember the name of it). The acoustics in the old building were fabulous and quite a change from the entertainment that I have become accustomed to as a bonafide red neck. After the concert we found a very nice and quaint little Restaurant and once again loaded up on pasta. It was delicious. We only had about a day and a half in Venice, but, we spent a lot of time just wondering around the narrow alleys that make up the "dry" streets of Venice. Still one of my favorite places.

@Goofyernmost , those were wonderful pictures of Florence. They took me back years ago when I was looking at the pictures my parents took, when they went to Florence. That city really stood out in my mother's mind as one of the most beautiful she had ever visited. She brought back 4 cordial glasses, and they were hand-painted. They're just gorgeous, and I still have them (I don't use them, but I keep them because they're so pretty and one-of-a-kind).

Found is interesting that you could compare your impressions of the city from a previous trip, that you took there many years ago. Glad to hear that the canals are cleaner now. Sounds like the food was very good as well.

Really enjoying all your pictures and your impressions of these wonderful places you visited, and looking forward to more! :happy:

Perhaps you have been spending too much time looking at snow. That will mess anyone's mind up. I haven't even gotten to Florence yet, but, they will be coming up in a week or so. I'm just kidding with you. I have those days quite often now. ;):joyfull::joyfull::)

BTW, thanks, I'm glad you are enjoying them. It is easy to go overboard and just bore the tears out of everyone.
