Before taking our train to Venice, we visited the Museo Nazionale Romano Palazzo Massimo alla Terme (National Museum of Rome). Our guidebook said this museum housed the greatest collection of ancient Roman art anywhere…and that may be the case, but it just looked like a bunch of chipped busts, heads, and other parts to me…
Rich enjoyed studying the enormous coin collection they have amassed in the basement vault dating from ancient Rome to Modern Times…
We arrived in Venice during the early evening and hopped on a vaporetti or water bus to reach our hotel in the Academia area…
The Grand Canal was an amazing site…
Tired and worn out from our Rome in a flash tour the previous day, we took a chance on the restaurant next door to our hotel (actually a great choice!) and snapped this picture of the small canal right outside our door…
