Today was just what I needed. Since I was feeling a bit better I took the opportunity to sit in the sun for about 4 1/2 hours. It was lovely!! Tomorrow morning we arrive in Venice, Italy around 10:00 in the morning. It should be a very nice overnight stop. Tomorrow afternoon I'm taking a tour.... Here is the description: Treasures of Venice
Board a motor coach for a transfer to Piazzale Roma. From here you will cross the small bridge over the Rio Novo for a walking tour of Venice. Narrow Venetian streets lead you on foot to the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, whose Tintoretto paintings and school make it one of Italy’s most prized buildings. Pass through Campo San Polo—an enormous square dating back to the 15th century. Watch for the Palazzo Mocenigo (designed around 1550 by San Michele) and the church of San Silvestro, famous for another Tintoretto masterpiece, The Baptism of Christ. You will reach the 1588 Rialto Bridge—the first bridge to be built of solid stone after the collapse and decay of earlier wooden structures. Traditional trade stalls, crowded, colorful quayside food markets and shops still border the Grand Canal here. Finally, walk through the Calle Mercerie to St. Mark’s Square to admire its beautiful basilica and belltower. You will have 50 minutes free to explore on your own before meeting the motor launch for a transfer back to the port.

Just wondering, in a 50 minute period, how many pictures can you take?
