Bus to Venice

 I don't know why I didn't post this picture earlier - or, for that matter, why I'm posting it now - but I was scrolling through pictures on my phone and stumbled across it (and it made me happy). When you fly into the airport in Venice you need to take public transportation into the city, as you would any other large city in Europe, although, of course, in this instance that would require a boat. I mean, on one hand you know this to be the case, but it's still funny/odd/wonderful when you actually do it.

Janet, a good soul, tried to buy the ticket in advance on line, although we knew in our heart of hearts that it wouldn't actually work - and, of course, it didn't. So she bought more tickets on the spot, which was sort of a metaphor for what turned out to be a crazy expensive trip. And I don't begrudge the Venetians one euro.
