Last Day in Venice

The last day in Venice began with what else?  Another church.  We took the water taxi to the Isle of San Giorgio Maggiore to see the Basilica of San Girogio Maggiore.  It is the big church that can be seen across the water from Venice.  Here is a question that we know may have been bothering you.  What is the difference between a cathedral and a basilica?  A cathedral is the proper term for a church that is home to a bishop. A basilica may refer to anything from a church’s architecture to its importance to the pope, depending on its type.

We saw the Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore.  It is a 16th-century Benedictine church  built between 1566 and 1610. The church is a basilica in the classical renaissance style.  We don’t really understand why it is a basilica even with the definition.  We did know that it is a nice church and very open.  Greg and Don went to the top of the Basilica but didn’t tell the others until they came down so it was unconfirmed.  It did violate some Les Cheap Girls rules.  (1) They paid and (2) rode an elevator.  (Debbie and Joyce don’t really think it counts if you take an elevator.

Since we were on the island, we decided to see other island hot spots.  Turns out that there were not a lot of them.  There was a special exhibit of the work by Paolo Venini, a famous Murano artist.  It met the Les Cheap Girls requirement of being free with the added incentive of being interesting.  (Greg would probably have been invited into Paolo’s back room – Les Cheap Girls would not).

We then went on a search for a Japanese tea house.   We wandered around into several dead ends before finding the tea house.  Debbie read about the tea house but can’t really explain what she read so here is her interpretation.  (Debbie’s Tour:  You go in this tea house  and you feel good about it.  Mostly you feel good about it because you found the tea house.   Only 2 can go in at a time but 30 can watch you. )

Now that we had looked at everything on the island, we went  back to Venice for lunch and the afternoon.  Joyce, Larry and Greg were extremely excited about the seafood special but only Greg picked seafood special. Every time one of Greg’s courses was served (Yes, they had a lunch with courses. ) Joyce and Larry looked sadly at Greg’s meal.  (Greg did not help the matter by smacking his lips and saying “It is so delicious).   They chose veal with tuna sauce (What happened to seafood, seafood, I love seafood?) .

Onto the Museo di Palazzo Mocenigo.  Cultural Moment: Palazzo Mocenigo is  now a museum of fabrics and costumes.  It also has perfumes. We found this to be an unusual museum.   (Debbie says that she can’t smell anything so is not sure that the others were just telling the truth about perfumes.)   There were mannequins all  about 5 feet tall  casually standing around in costumes.  (Debbie said she was startled several times because she thought they were real people.  Dressed oddly and small but real).

The final stop was the Museum of Natural Science.  We all enjoyed the museum better than the Museo di Pallazo Mocenigo.

We returned home and tried to eat all the food left in the flat accompanied by frantic packing for an early morning departure.
