Something different for the Biennale. A busy Grand Canal - a working boat, a full vaporetto, another taxi.

We continue to have warm, sunny days. We love to walk and nearly walked six miles today. Also had gelato from Gelateria del Doge in San Toma and a slice of pizza from Al Volo in Santa Margherita.

JustTravel, please keep the photos coming. I just made plane reservations for 3 weeks in Venice next April (and a few days in Verona) -- like you, we've been many times, for a total of 14 or 15 weeks, and we keep going back. We're staying here in Cannaregio for the third time: https://www.sabbaticalhomes.com/Home_Rent_House_Rental_Venice_Italy_41077.htm -beautiful views over 2 canals and the owners, Helen and Marco, have an amazing collection of CDs and books.
 
Another nice day. After some coffee at Caffè del Doge, we picked up some mineral water from the nearby Coop. We then met BJ and Alan at Al Vecio Maragon for lunch and catching up (sorry no food pictures).

After checking out their apartment, we stopped in at Gelateria il Doge in San Tomà for dessert.

We found an empty bench in Campo San Polo and enjoyed our gelato.
