Venezzia (Part Two)

 The one thing Ada and Navi looked forward to while in Venice, besides the gelato, was going to Piazza San Marco and chase the piggione.  By luck Ada found a piece of bread and they were able to feed them.  DaddyQuique brought hand sanitizer with him that day.

 The gondolas in Venice are really expensive so the next best thing as the traghetti. For only 2€, it's not as fancy as the gondolas, but a gondola none the less to help you across the Grand Canal.

 One day the Lopezjones' headed to the beach.  Who knew there was a beach in Venice?  The Lido had a free beach that the twins loved playing in.

 Food choices were minimal, but not bad tasting.  Acqua Frizzante is always the drink of choice for Ada and Navi.

 Venice is beautiful, but the amount of tourist during the day can be such a buzzkill. The best moments were when we were away from the crowds and the twins were free to walk around on their own.

 Federico and his dad joined us one day for an outing and gelato.

 They stopped at a few tourist spots, but all the twins wanted to do was play.

 So we found a campo and brought out the soccer ball.

 Ada and Navi really enjoyed Italy.  They loved it and when they came back home were very happy to share their stories of Italy with their friends and teachers.  Upon their return they both got big hugs from many of their friends.  The teacher's said they were missed.

 Thank you to Michele and his family for hosting us in Venice.

And mille grazie again to the Zancaner and De Faveri relatives for hosting us. The Lopezjones' can't wait to see you again, ci vediamo alla prossima volta!
