In Venice: Vaporetto and the AirBnB

 My friend, Paula, and I met at Camp Beaupre in the Berkshires in 1975. We had been wanting to meet in Venice during her spring break for several years. We are finally doing it this year! (She  is the same friend I visited in Dubai in 2020.) We arrived in Venice yesterday afternoon by vaporetto from the airport. 

FYI - I have not finished posting some of my photos from Greece - that will come later. But because my time here will be very busy, I will be mostly posting photos with shorter captions and will post the others when I get home. 

Thank you for all of you who have emailed and commented on the blog. I'm so happy to have you traveling with me!

              Tables set up  to walk on in case of the acqua alta - high water. This - I was told - is from the high winds.

              Windows can open from the side and also tilt out from the top for safety.

                    Black out shutters - yay!
