7/17 Venice on foot, boat

No bikes.  No cars.  Just a beautiful unique city.  We all separated in the morning to museums, the beach, Jewish Ghetto  (a Venetian word meaning to throw, as in foundry), burano then reconnected for a guided tour with marc.  We learned why Google can't map Venice's funky street numbering, saw some cool secret spaces,  heard great stories and walked a ton.  Nice dinner in quiet (except for pleasant live music) alley near ghetto and a final Vaporetto ride.  11.8 miles walked.  Tomorrow, the Frankels and Weinstocks go home, Lowensteins continue their visit to Amsterdam (2018??), Leiters go on to Barcelona, and the Glasgows go to Florence.
