It 
was a beautiful Wednesday morning in Venice. After breakfast and packing, we walked to the Rialto to meet Dennis, Emma, Laurie and Brenna. We visited the Casa di Parmigiano and checked out all the strange fish for sale in the market. Snails and inky squid reigned supreme. Our hotel called a taxi to take us to Murano to watch the glass blowers at work. The water taxi ride turned out to be the best part of the trip. Lots of little canals to run through. We watched a glass blower make a horse and decided to head back to town on the vaparetto so the rest of the gang could see San Marco. Luther, Julie and Rebecca vaparettoed towards Ca’ Rezzonico to visit the bathroom and see how the 17th & 18th century Venetians lived. We had the endless quest for our perfect pizza, visiting our favorite pizza lady only to be turned away for the second time that day. Back-up pizza and Dennis were found, and we headed out in a taxi to the ship, and holy ship, Batman, what a ship it is! 
We had a lovely dinner and Rebecca was denied purchasing a drink because apparently she is only 14, coincidentally with the same birthday as Emma. That little glitch has been fixed. Cheers to that.
Dennis treated us to a show for our sailaway from Venice this morning, our first morning on the ship. We all got to accompany him to the bridge as he spoke over the PA about the sights of Venice we were passing. The ship sailed down the Giudecca Canal at 8 am, towering over the city. We had the bird’s eye view from the bridge with all of Venice spread out before us. Too cool.
We lolled the rest of the day, except for Julie who thought it was a fine day to run a 5k in the gym. We did manage to dunk the flab to cool off. Tonight was our first formal night so we got dolled up for dinner.
Tomorrow it’s Dubrovnik or bust, which we may do if we continue to eat the way we’ve been eating!
Sorry no pictures today. Our expensive, yet slow, connection on the ship isn't cooperating. We'll try agian soon!
