Venice

On April 26 (thursday) we took a flight to Venice. From the airport, we walked over to the dock and hopped on a ferry that took us over to St. Marks, and from there moved over to another ferry that took us to a stop that was right outside our hotel.

View from the ferry...


Who's a happy camper?


And another...


Our hotel...Palazzo Stern




This church on the right was down the street from our hotel and is the church in an Indiana Jones movie where they went underground in the church and came up in front of it...at which time Indiana says, "Ahhh, Venice!"

Ok, back to France, we found this great place a few block from our hotel. The weather was great, loved sitting outside...
