Well…damn just got into the rooms at the Gallo hotel in Venice and it is a cool old hotel…but I feel old today with all of the traveling and not having any sleep in over 24 hours and I hope that doesn’t continue for the rest of the trip…we came straight from the airport in a water taxi and that was cool…and my jaw dropped when we got off the boat and into the city…way too much cool stuff to see and we’ve already walked 5 miles or so…the plazas are just huge and cool and Venice is just a frenetic city with all the people and things going on…need a little break here so I can recharge….
