It is hard to leave Venice
One more post from Venice. This is such a wonderful city I do not want to leave! I think I might like it more than Florence because it has the added bonus of the water everywhere. I took one more vaporetta ride down the canal to the Rialto bridge and then walked back to St Marks Square. Luckily they had good signs everywhere so I did not get lost.
Yesterday I only walked about17,500 steps and today I am sure it will be less since I will be on boats and a train for much of the day.
As I have walked around for the last week or so, I have been so thankful not to be in a tour. You see people lined up like rows of ducks following someone with a flag all over the towns. It would be so difficult for me to be in that position. My free spirit would be squashed. Even getting lost I love traveling and exploring on my own or with a small group of old or new friends.
Everyone needs to visit Venice - but not on a tour!!

I'm so jealous. I'm enjoying living vicariously thru you! You need to eat and drink more for me. I'd like some pasta carbarnara (sp?) please!!
thanks,

We did that guided tour in London to see the "Jack the Ripper" hotspots. That was fun, though, because it was eerie and after dark. Being led around by a flag-carrying tourguide in broad daylight sounds soul-killing. I could deal with a tour on a boat, though. That'd be nice. :)

Hi Susan,
Art and I are enjoying your trip to Italy along with you. We're looking forward to seeing your new haircut. It sounds great! Big Sis
Guess what - I forgot to mention that the Last Supper tour I was on today was lead by a woman with a large flower we had to follow!! I can not believe I did that but I guess since it was only once I can accept it. Be careful what you wish NOT to have happen !!
