[Idyllchat] Venice

[Lynanne Guynn]

Hi Chris,

I'm just catching up on my Idyllchat messages since my two-month stay in Venice this summer.  And you were in Venice (on your own) on July 7 when you wrote this email.  I was there then, also on my own.  Next time there, I hope to have a laptop, instead of not being able to find a cheap, reliable working internet point (almost impossible) to send/read my emails.

I do hope you enjoyed my favorite city, and will want to return to it.  Venice is a very fascinating city to me :-))   And the islands - the cemetery island, Burano, Murano, Torcello, San Servolo, Chioggia, etc, not counting the mainland of Mestre and the once-a-week huge street market, are so very interesting.

Lynanne

We just checked out of Famiglia a few days ago.  We're
in Venice now, doing some additional travelling on our
own.  You'll love Famiglia, it's a great place.

I can't tell you much about Florence, except that we
did it as a day trip.  We drove from Famiglia and 
parked at Piazalle Michelangelo, then took a taxi to
the Ufizi.  It was quick, easy, and I think only about
6 euros.

Ciao!

Chris
