Venice in the October sun

We have had absolutely brilliant weather in Venice - a bit cold but blue skies and very sunny.  We have spent our days wandering around  and eating at interesting places.

 There is always lots of manoeuvering with boats

 A line of tourists waiting to load their luggage onto a  water taxi

 The Canareggio Canal

 Many Jewish people were sent to their deaths in Concentration Camps by the Germans from Venice in World War Two. This monument is near the Casa di Riposo - elderly people were brutally taken from the nursing home.

We know of one person who lived in Venice and was related to the Abolafio side of the family who was killed at Auschwitz. There were many other surnames in the monument that are in the Venice family tree including Rava', Sacerdote and Mendes. So horrible.
