A beautiful, sunny morning - finally!

 


Saturday                                                                                                October 9, 2021

It's a gorgeous, sunny day this morning.  So glad, as so far it's been grey and rainy most of the time.  In fact, it's so nice, that we're able to have breakfast outside in the garden.  It's our last morning here, as we leave for Tuscany this afternoon.

I'm a little nostalgic about leaving, as I don't think we'll return.  I've loved staying here and have many special memories, but now have new places to explore in the future.  Even if we return to Venice again (for a sixth visit!), it's time for some new experiences.  

But I can't say enough about how special it is to be on this historic, serene island and to have everyone leave on the last boat at night, and to sit in the silence of the evening listening to the birds and the water of the canal and watch the moon rise over the thousand year old churches.  It's an absolutely magical experience.




Extra treats this morning - instead of omelets, we ordered the fruit and cheese platters.

Breathing in the history from these sacred places on this sunny morning

The Locanda restaurant was beautifully decorated for a wedding today



Fall colors have arrived at the Locanda


Ready for the wedding guests!

And we get a sneak peak at the bride...
