Our last full day in Venice and it is beautiful. The sun was out and it was warmer. The students wake up when they want and everyone does what they desire. Some did laundry, some napped, some took gondola rides, and others shopped. I have to visit San Marco’s square one last time and walk along the water. There were more people out and. I failed to mention yesterday that we tried the cookies of Venice – Zeleti. They are dry and hard with a subtle sweetness; they were originally made for the fishermen who would be out in their boats all day. (The cookie of Florence was Biscotti, for those of you keeping track.) We had our final Venice dinner together that featured lasagna, fried calamari, boiled spinach, and ice crème for dessert. (note: a few members of our group elected to go see a Vivaldi concert, he was a Venitian after all!)
