Venice Italy 2001

---

We almost missed the train to Venice because the train said nothing about Venice. So here all three of us running down to the train. Hopping on any car just so we would not miss the train. We had to walk up 5 train cars to get to our compartment. Wow what an adventure. We had a recomendation from the inkeeper for a pensioni in Venice. We will share a room there and for the rest of the trip. We found this way was less expensive.
We stayed at a lovely place. We broke down and took a gondola ride. Paulo was our gondolier. I didnt even think about my sprained ankle. Just being their was unbelievable.
