< St. Peter's, not our best pic but the only one on the CD so far. Lest you think that I am not enjoying myself, I feel I need to say that there is more good than bad in Italy. This is especially true in Venice. We spent our next to last day in Rome at a beach south of Ostia Antiqua. It was a beautiful beach and my first swim in the ocean (Tyhranean Sea [sp?]). Leaving rome we spent 5 hours or so in Florence. We somehow managed to find a way past the three hour line up and into the Accademia Gallery to see the David, but that is far too long a tale for the limited time we have now. We are loving Venice and the cooler (20s) weather. Our hotel is great, it even has a resident cat. I have to say that we have been very happy with all our places to stay so far. Let's hope that trend continues!
Today we went to the Lido, which is a beach on the Adriatic Sea. Much warmer water on this side of the Italian peninsula! Tomorrow we go to Murano to see them make the glass, take our first gondola ride, and take in a concert of Vivaldi, Albinoni, etc. Saturday we are off to Krakow, Poland where there just may be a better chance to blog!
