Truthfully, I hadn't planned to blog about Venice at all. It is hard to look back on the disappointment that occurred there. And I hardly took any pictures there.
Now with a little bit of distance, there are good memories from Venice:
- Our hotel, where we'd stayed once before, was still a wonderful place. We had the same room, right off the interior courtyard, with our own private table outside our door. The pool was wonderful. This photo to the left is a chandelier that hangs in the lobby.
- We had two dinners with our daughter and her family while in Venice.
- We had a visit from older son and his family at the hotel.
- We got to see younger son and his family for a short time in Venice.
- We enjoyed being in "our neighborhood," a comfortable distance from the chaos and brouhaha of St. Mark's area.
- Our neighborhood included an excellent -- and inexpensive -- gelato stand.

Our hotel lobby was filled with beautiful art. I liked this one a lot.

Our local funeral home, sharing plaza space with the excellent pizzeria next-door,
just two doors from the gelato spot. |

I'd never thought to stay at the same hotel but it's an excellent idea. Will certainly do that should we travel afar again.
Hugs!
