Dell’Accademia Bridge - one of only three crossing the Grand Canal

When our walking tour ended I was ready for lunch. However, with this being our first full day of the trip Gail had a number of duties to perform. Everything was still new to these junior and senior high school age kids. They were a bit nervous about going off on their own. Gail had to direct a few to bank machines, oooh and aaah over some of their purchases from the glass factory and remind others that we were meeting up again at the gondola slip at 1:00. Finally we were able to head off on our own. Last summer Gail and I ate at a little pizzeria recommended by a poster on Fodors.com. We had a great meal at an outdoor table just below the Accademia Bridge.
