last day in Venice

We decided to take the day a leisurely pace. We wandered around and did the final push for gifts for everyone. We hit a pharmacy for cough syrup- not tasty but very effective. We hit the grocery store for Kleenex and cough drops. We also picked up drinkable yogurt and some bread and cheese for a snack during the day. We stopped into a Chinese shop/restaurant for lunch. I am big believer in the healing power of hot and sour soup! It was both hot and sour- yummy and burned going down- so it must be healing right?
We walked to the lagoon near St. Mark's.
lions are everywhere in Venice- a sign of St. Mark

We decided to head for home so we can pack and get ready for the early (we leave the hotel at 5 am) morning.
But first we stopped by our favorite pizza place here in Venice for a little take home treat.
This is the pizza guy. He made me a wonderful Vegetarian pizza, he grilled all the veggies first then put them on the pizza with cheese in the wood oven.
he was super charming and made really good pizza
Today's flavors:
Chris- yogurt with mixed berries and lemon
Janelle- pistachio and caramel
Ais- hazelnut and chocolate
note- all the gelato was MUCH MUCH better in Florence.... our favorite shop was Gelataria Cillo in Florence!
