I need a directional implant

Oy vey! How can anyone get lost so much? I had to ask twice the direction to the train station in Florence. I took the looonnnggg way around for sure but I made it in time for my train. Then when I got off in Venice, I walked for 20 min trying to find the canals! Found out there are 2 stops in Venice and I got off too soon. When I went to the Train info center and told him about it he said "why you get off here?" Duh, I made a mistake??? He let me get on the next train for free and I finally made it to Venice.
Info on Venice - from the train station to the old part of town by boat - it is like any other town except that all of the services are done by boat. I saw a garbage boat, an ambulance boat and of course the taxi boats. I did get off at the right stop for my hotel but again walked around alot before asking 2 people where it was. I will take a pic of the "street" I needed to go up to find it - a bit small and scary. But the hotel seems good. I have a single room which means a twin bed and a dresser and a very small bath but that is fine with me Tonight I walked around St Marks Square for a few hours and stopped to eat. The man in the restaurant had a 7 euro menu - no surprises he said. So I had some pasta and red wine. When I got my check, the pasta was 8 euros and the red wine was 5. I said that I thought the pasta was all 7 euros and he said no, meat costs 1 euro extra. Too funny but pretty much par for the course here.
I then had a craving for chips - I needed salt. I walked all around town and could not find any so I happened upon a McDonalds and got a small fries - for 2.20 euros. That is approx $3.30 What could I do, I needed salt!
Tomorrow I hope to take a boat to a church across the way and go to a gregorain (spelling?) chant service in the morning. I am hoping that tomorrow night I have the energy to take the boat tours through the Grand Canal.
Steps today - so far - 23,049! Even after 3 hours on a train. It pays to get lost when it comes to collecting a lot of steps.
