Venice

Had a great day in Paris, although it was windy.  Found some great souvenier 'junk', and had lunch right next to Notre Dame.  Had to be at Paris Bercy by 7p, and we got back to the hotel in time to have TWO glasses of red wine.  The Taxi arrived before 7p and got us to Bercy in time.  We were greeted with a PACKED terminal, and the word that there was a blackout!!  Oh great!  We sat on our suitcases, and the train station passed out lunch boxes to keep people happy.  We finally got on our train about 10p, and left shortly after (should've left at 8:33p).  Had a FAST trip, but I didn't sleep well.  We couldn't see much now because it was dark, but we were happy.  I had some more wine, and finally went to bed about 11:30p.  Didn't sleep well, but woke up about 6:30a.  Got to Venice about 11a, and our hotel wasn't ready.  NO PROBLEM.  Found a place for a great lunch, then went on the Vaparetto, and visited several sights.  Hotel is fabulous, and we're planning a full day tomorrow of sight seeing.  This is a wonderful place!!  Had Cababaro for lunch and pizza for dinner.  Haven't had Gelato yet, but I think that will be tomorrow!!
Having a great time!
