Venice

Kathy & I arrived in Venice on September 2nd after a long day of train travel from Montepulciano!  A "local" train took us to Florence (our 3rd time there at the train station), then we caught a fast train to Venice. The trip went through Padua as well. We enjoyed our train travel in Italy although lugging our suitcases up & down the steps to the platforms sometimes was a challenge. At least in Florence all the platforms were all in one level.








This is a photo from across the Grand Canal where we went to watch the "blessing" of some of the racing gondolas. In the foreground are some of the people in the Gondolier Chorus.
