Our first two days of Venice, I still wasn’t feeling well.  Pretty much any food gave me issues, I was sick all night, and the pharmacist told me I could only eat plain white rice or plain pasta (no sauce).  Not so great when you are in Italy surrounded by amazing food.   I still felt a bit better than I did in Nice, so we were able to do some sightseeing those first two days.  But day three, I really started to feel like myself, and even though it was raining, I wanted to make the most of our last day in Venice. 

Funnel and I had already explored Piazza San Marco, so we decided to head out to the area past it.  The further East we got, the less tourists there were.  It was almost like we had that part of Venice all to ourselves.

Since I was feeling better and not having the food issues I was having before, we decided to get some gelato: my very first gelato of the trip!

And it was good.    Pistaccio.  Strawberry.  Nutella.  Cookies & Cream.

The area East of the square seemed more like a residential area, but it was really neat, we got to see a communist club with some old men sitting in there talking (I didn’t take a picture of that.. eek) and this mailbox that looks like a friendly little guy:

We came across what used to be Venice’s shipyard, and is now a military zone.  We both thought it was strange that they would have a military zone in Venice, which has literally become nothing but a tourist area.

After an afternoon if walking around in the rain, we headed back to our hotel to get ready for our last evening in Venice..
