It was interesting to see how they create lanes for there water taxis. There are just a bunch of poles sticking out of the water for markers. On the way back they stuffed us on and I'm pretty sure that the capacity was above what was capable. We got to walk around St. Marks Square and than got to walk inside Dodges palace it was really cool we got to see old armor,prison and an array of other spectacular things. Sunday moved off the cruise to Treviso Where it was slightly cooler, but not by much we met many kind people who stopped right off their bikes and helped us navigate. Having gotten some rough directions to the nearest lds church off the Internet we hoped that we would be close to the building but after fourty five minute walk we found the building and that is where the pictures come from. We walked in late to the small branch and the only seats that were available were on the front row. The lady behind me asked me " American?" I said yes and she was able to get one if the elders to come sit by us to help us translate. We found out after sacrament that it was there last block but they invited us to their lunch which we greatly appreciated! We were able to eat some authentic Italian food and it was really good, the people were very kind and there was a real sense of togetherness many of them came and shook our hands talking to us. It was like a big family reunion where you can just feel that everyone just enjoys each others company .Most of the people there wre Italian but many had moved from places like Africa or other parts in Europe. We even met a lady who was from Brazil who like us was visiting. We put the chairs away and they set up tables in the what doubled as the chapel. The food was great! We got to try various new foods, very exciting!
Walking there and back we got to bask in the beauty of the park . They even had roosters there! How bizarre huh!
