Beautiful Venice

We decide to see the Peggy Guggenheim museum, walk around and see the Rialto Bridge in our short day. Every corner we go around gives a new oppurtunity to take a picture. The day was beautiful, warm and sunny. Once we crossed the Grand Canal to get to the museum, the crowds thinned out. Much nicer on the other side. I don't remember anything about the Peggy Guggenheim from 1976, except that I went there. I really enjoyed it this time. She was quite a character, in addition to collection art by about every important 20th century artist. She was married for a while to Max Ernst. The museum was calm and not too crowded. We stopped in a little art gallery and David bought a nice poster, which turned out to be a silk screen. I will frame it for him when we get home.
Then we walked back over the grand canal toward the Rialto Bridge. More wonderful pictures. When we finally got to the bridge, I felt like I was on Canal Street in New York. This was really wall to wall people.
Our final activity was to take a vaporetto down the Grand Canal to San Marco. So we bought our tickets and waited and waited. Finally it came. The trip back was slow, but spectacular. We made it back to the ship on time, and sailed away from Venice into the Adriatic Sea.
