The weather is turning bad. The promised storm has
arrived. We drove in the rain for another hour to get to Venice. Our guide,
Alessandro, who has been with us the whole time, turned us over to the guide
for the cruise down the coast of Italy to Malta. Her name is Sylvia. She must
be Italian because she talks with her hands and is very happy and positive and
lively!! She had to tell us about a change in our itinerary. With this storm,
the sea is too rough for our boat to dock in Venice. So on Tuesday, they will
bus us to Ravenna and we'll get on the boat there.
