May 7, 2012-Venezia

We were docked overnight in Venice so we had the morning to play/explore in Venice. I really wanted to go to the Peggy Guggenheim museum/palazzo. It was cool. She bought an unfinished Palazzo/palace on the grand canal in Venice and made it her retirement home. It only has modern art since it is most just art she collected from artist she knew. I loved it. There were a few cool Picasso's and Dali. The Dali's we saw in the MOMA in NYC we pretty small and one was quite large here. After that we took the public transport boat to the famous Rialto bridge and went shopping. We just about finished all our souvenir shopping there. Then we decided to try to walk back to the ship instead of using the vaparettos so we could see more of the city. It was such a good day. I would love to come back to Venice. There is so much left to see. I think we just scratched the surface of Venice and got the most important things crossed off.
