Well the drive was shorter than we thought. That's always good. We parked in one of the parking garages outside of the city. Wandering around to find the vaporetto with no suitcase handle sucks!!! My handle is officially broken. So I'm pulling my suitcase with just the little strap. So heavy! I was doing biceps curls while pulling, having to switch hands every couple of minutes. It was a struggle from the vaporetto to our hotel. 
Well, now I've seen more people struggling with their suitcases as well. But mine's broken!
We ventured out to San Marco square via the vaporetto. We bought an all day pass, so figured we'd use it again. It's pretty cool here! I cannot get over the traffic on the water. I knew you had to travel by water but just didn't expect that many boats/vaporettos/gondolas/traghettos...Wow! Now I can't wait to see Matt in his gondolier outfit! Haha! (Said he'd be here...pretty sure he was kidding.) :(
I almost forgot...I fed pigeons from my hand!!! They were on my shoulder, down my arm and eating out of my hands! Anne did it too. She had a few land on her head. It was so great!!! Later Dad found bird poop on my shoulder and then I got some on my arm when we went back to feed them again. Gross! Dad got it on video. What can I say Julie and Mel...you should've tried it. 
Having a lovely relaxing vaporetto ride back to our stop at Ca' d'Oro. Going back to the hotel before dinner to have a rest.
Wandered around our hotel area looking for a place to eat. Passed a few places, but kept looking. The further we got the fewer options we had. So we settled on a low-key pizzeria around the corner from our hotel. Having olive pizza tonight! We're so tired every night now. I usually have coffee if I go out for dinner at home. Maybe that's what I need. By 8pm I'm usually ready for bed here. At the beginning of our trip I had so much energy...but that's pretty much gone now.
Buona notte!
