Venezia

We're back from Venice. We spent four nights there and we were all ready to come home.

It was a nice trip to take before Yago's deployment. We spent a few days sleeping in and traveling in to the city. Our hotel was actually about 20 km outside Venice because we didn't want to spend $300/night. Really. We also didn't eat in the city because that too was WAY overpriced. We were going to get a drink and some ice cream for Schmitty but each drink was $8 and the ice cream was $12 so we strolled around and bought snacks in little bodegas instead. In the picture we got off the ferry and found a little grocery store then ate our snacks on the steps of a church.

Sam bought the dragon necklace as a souvenir and it has become his prized possession. More on that later...
