Last day in Venice

And coldest! Today has been kind of a greatest hits, we are going back to see the things we want to see one last time. The last day of a trip is always psychotic. Half of your brain is home already and the other half is desperately trying to squeeze all it can from its surroundings. I’m tired today, my knees are bruised and my ankles ache from all the various types of stone I’ve been walking on the last week. This trip has been pretty incredible, we saw many amazing things that I’ll never forget.

I think the challenge is never to think that you won’t come back. We were just standing at the top of the Rialto Bridge and I said- Last time for the view from the Rialto. It is impossible to see everything and I try to think that I’ll just save something for next time, because there is nothing like the first time you see something, that rush of gooseflesh. So I’m glad I didn’t see everything in Venice so now I have to come back.

    Hi Lauren and Eric, Ah, yes, Venice. Reminds me of when Grandpa and I spent a short time there in 1975. I just think of riding in a big bus down a windy road at break-neck speed, and seeing a lot of outdoor cafes. There were the men, sitting and drinking wine on a Sunday afternoon. Their wives were probably home cooking dinner. We also were on a boat by the Blue Grotto, which was beautiful. Grandpa says, “My gosh, you guys are having fantastic time, and would like to hear about the rest of it when you get home.” Love, Granny Jan

    Hi Lauren and Eric, It’s me again, Granny Jan. Oops!!! Grandpa corrected me. It was not Venice that we were visiting. We were coming down a mountain in the Naples area. The Blue Grotto is Capri, of course. We also visited Sorrento, Rome, and Florence, which we loved. By the way, we received your good post card yesterday. Also, thank you for the lovely note about Gene McGrath. Love, Grandpa Charlie and Granny Jan.
