1997 Trip: Museums and Gondolas

Today was pretty busy. First, we went to the Accademia Museum, where we saw Venetian art dating from the Byzantine to the 1800s, including some stuff by Titian. Then we walked over to the Rialto Bridge (it should suffice to say it was a LONG walk) and to the hotel. On the way back, we went past a McDonald's (where I filled out a survey), a Disney Store (where Chrissie & I tried to get a CD in Italian but Dad said no), and a Picasso exhibit. Mom finally got that vase set she wanted (for only $180!!), we went on a gondola ride (before vase), and Chrissie & I drew in St. Mark's square. We played Scrabble (Chrissie -> Me -> Mom -> Dad) and I took a shower.
