I´ll just do a recap of the highlingts.
Saturday:
Dad, Samira and I walked a couple of blocks to where we could watch the gondolas being repaired. It was really cool to see the shop at work, right along the edge of the canal.
A little way away we found a great gelateria, Gelateria Nico, where we got some ice cream later in the day.
We wandered over to the Jewish Quarter, where we heard the Jewish chanting, and ended up having lunch. We had a great conversation talking about Judaism with the local rabi and some other members. It was quite the unique experience!
We did some shopping, and Samira got me a silver gondola charm for my travel charm bracelet. We returned to the same place for dinner as the previous night.
Sunday -- Easter:
The day was rung in with the sound of church bells. As you can imagine in a Catholic country, the city was mostly closed except for some select tourist stores. We went to a Klimt exhibit at a museum off of San Marco´s Square. It was a great way to spend the afternoon. We wandered around the streets and then decided to leave early for the airport since Dad and Samira were flying out that night.
It was a unique and quiet way of spending Easter. I was sad to leave Venice!
Thanks for a wonderful time, Venenzia!
