Out with Rhonda again, more overcast, darker and harder to see the map. We went the opposite way today, a few pauses to try to read the map, a few minor missteps, but overall a pretty good result. More tired today, too. This time we picked up a few more, heading from 1 to the start, then 15, 14, etc on the way back. Excellent!

Out with the group for strolling around. We went for coffee and pastry at the excellent Tonolo, then around the corner found our way in to the Carlo Goldoni house, some old theater and marionette memorabilia, along with some info about the great playwright’s life. Strolled over Rialto, and eventually to the Correr Museum, which seemed to drag on for a while and people were getting hungry, so we repaired to Rosa Rossa, not far away, for lunch. Ok, but certainly not great. G&L headed to S. Angelo and thence home. Rhonda and I took Accademia, made a walk around Salute and down Zattere and to the market at Santa Margarita before heading home and resting up for the coming late night.

A bit sore after two days of running, and fighting a bit of a sniffle.

Went to the Flanders Ballet at La Fenice with Rhoda, George and Leslie. Three pieces, pretty modern, although the music was familiar, Moussorsky, Ravel, Debussy. Very high tone event, and beautiful to be inside La Fenice.
