Life in Venice

Angela, Jay, and I took the students into Venice today, from which all but two students went on to Rome; Jay will stay in Venice tonight and will go on to Milan tomorrow where he will meet up with his two motorcyling buddies, Hank and Josh.

I took the train back to Gorizia and look forward to a quiet weekend. The students will return on Monday, and I hope to have THEIR blogs graded. Jay will return next week, and I hope he manages to stay safe.

Because the students had planned to take a relatively early train to Rome, we had relatively little time in Venice though having Angela as a tour guide means that we saw Venice as the natives see it. We did one of Angela's favorite things, which is to go into the ghetto, where we had a delicious lunch, and one of the students bought a carnival mask. With Angela's help he was even able to do some negotiating.

As you can see from the photographs, we also had some time to see some of the standard sights of beautiful Venice.
