Friday Part II

We made it to the Guggenheim. It's actually a pretty small museum, but really nice. Lots of popular artists of the day. This is the Calder piece that Peggy had over her bed... They were also hosting a collection of Futurist art in the main gallery area. The sculpture garden was a hit for us.



It's not far to Santa Maria delle Salute, so we headed there on our way back to Saint Mark's. This altar had wrapped columns, the only ones in the church...



Here we are with the view from in front of the church.



In Saint Mark's, we spent a little more time checking out the Zodiac clock. I did a little bit of reading about the clock, which is just an awesome thing.



On our way back to the hotel to freshen up, we passed this awesome street lamp of a dragon holding a ball of umbrellas. Disappointingly, it didn't light up at night... I guess it needs a new bulb.



For dinner, we met up with Roger and Phyllis, who Linda goes to ACT with in San Francisco. We went to Acqua Pazza, which was great. I had pasta with fresh artichoke hearts, it was right up my alley. And the complimentary bruschetta was delicious. And then we were off to Musica a Palazzo, the Love Duets program. Another great evening...

On our way home we passed this "Wheel of Gelato" on one of the squares... We didn't get any gelato, but next time. Oh, next time...
