Traveling

Tomorrow we leave for Venice.  We'll catch a mid-morning train to Florence, then switch to a train that will arrive in Venice mid-afternoon.  Not sure when will be the next opportunity to post.
Venice.  Why would anyone build a city on a mud-filled lagoon?  In the year 452 the answer for the Veniti people was, "because Attila the Hun is invading and we need to move from the mainland!  Besides, beneath the mud is solid clay.  We can sink piles into the clay and build our city upon them, safe at sea from the invaders."  Their planned worked, creating a place of beauty in the process.

But, for now, just a little more time wandering about Assisi.
