Approaching the city of Venice

Our water taxi is taking us to Venice. Everything is more expense in this city. It even costs to sit down - no joke. You don't see any places to sit, unless you go to a cafe or restaurant. Going to the "lovely" public restroom, 1 Euro. Want a coke? How about 7 Euro. Want a real meal - don't ask. A slice of pizza or sandwich is about 7.50 Euro. I will say, when you are tired of walking, you are hungry and it pouring rain, you will pay the price for food and a bathroom.

There are many churches that you pass on your ride in. For celebrity seekers, one of those houses belongs to Elton John. There is a church that we passed where you can go to pray to their patron saint if you are searching for a husband. I told one friend that I prayed for her coming and going - she loved it!
