Day 23: Venice


We awoke to a beautiful day and visited the Rialto Market area where we visited one of my favorite artist and bought another of his prints.  We explored all the streets in this area and made the olive oil purchases for this trip since we were through schelping luggage except for the airport drag tomorrow.  I had found some bracelets for Becky yesterday and took photos to email her and see which one she wanted but was unable to get an internet connection so I called her and then made that purchase to finish up my shopping list.  After taking our purchases back to the apartment we went to the Dorsodura area and visited our favorite cicchetti bar followed by a trip to the famous Nico gelato store for dessert.   Along the way we found a mask shop we hadn’t visited before and Tim got a pirate mask to add to his collection.  It was now time to do the luggage shuffle and decide what went in which bag and try to get the weights worked out to avoid any additional airline fees.  This was quite a task but we did it:  49.5 lbs, 49.6 lbs and 2 large carry-ons stuffed to the max along with Tim’s mask in his backpack.  We decided to just have dinner in tonight and clean out the refrigerator, especially after Tim had a sugar low and didn’t feel up to going out.
