but really, i PROMISE this is the last venice post

We did so much stuff and I want to share it all! Unfortunately that gets rather lengthy, so here's a list with pictures of what Dana and I did over the rest of the weekend. 

• Hung out in the Jewish Ghetto, tried and failed to go to the Jewish Museum because it was Shabbat. Whoops! We ended up going back on Sunday morning before taking the bus to the airport. 

• Tried to find the best pizza in Venice as per a guidebook I read (see a theme here?). Failed, but ate delicious ricotta and spinach calzones anyway. 
• Met up with Sarah, one of Dana's camp friends and Jen's college friends, who is currently studying in Prague -- small world! 
• Went to the Galeria de la Academia de Venezia, a small art museum. 
• Rode around on lots of vaporettos and wandered around a lot of streets, canals, and bridges. 

• Went to the Punta della Dogana, which used to be a shipping/weighing center but now houses a modern art museum. Unfortunately the museum was closed when we got there, but we were able to stand on the peninsula and take some great photos of Venice and Giudecca Islands, the Grand Canal, and parts of the lagoon: 

• On our last night, we ate some more pizza (not as good as the first two times, alas) and went to a chamber music concert of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Although we were the youngest people there by about 30 years (and the only ones not on our second honeymoon), we loved the music and had a great time. 
• Sunday morning it rained, so we headed to the Jewish Museum (mentioned before), had a GREAT LAST MEAL of pizza - margherita and sundried tomato/rocket - before heading to the airport. 

That's all, folks.

Love, S
