Venice!

Certainly there is no other city in the world like Venice.  We enjoyed it yesterday from sun up until well after sunset.  We bought a 24 hour ferry pass, so we traversed the city over and over.  We went to see exhibits at Biennale Arte at Giardini for a couple of hours in the morning.  We ferried to San Croce and had a late lunch, and by late afternoon, we visited the Iraq exhibit of Biennale Arte 2017, in an amazing palazzo with a two level all wood library and two carved circular stairs.  We were more impressed by the palazzo's library than the Iraq exhibit (and it was good!).  We had a late light dinner, then took the ferry up the Grand Canal to San Marco Square to enjoy the night lights and the music.  We called it a day at 11 pm.  Celebrating Father's Day and my birthday in Venice was unforgettable!
