Italy 2013 Day 10

Today was a bus trip to Faenza to visit the most amazing and huge ceramic museum. It has an immense collection of ceramics from everywhere and every period of history. The building itself was huge and very well constructed or renovated for this purpose. In the afternoon Carol and I dined at a restaurant suggested by the manager of our hotel and we had great food and enjoyed our Sunday Dinner. Many others in our group found great restaurants and all enjoyed their meals and the places where they ate.   Returning back to our hotel those of us going on to Venice packed and talked with the owner of this hotel about getting there, getting around there, and getting to the airport when we are heading home.  Carol and I located our hotel on the map and were able to bring

it up on my iPad which is, sometimes, not an easy task.  At the last supper here at our hotel we all enjoyed special foods arranged by the hotel and Margaret spoke and handed out course certificates,  Arwed spoke, the owner spoke.  Everyone loved the workshop and tours and hotel. Gail Rose is cooking French Toast at 7:15 a.m  tomorrow and the bus leaves at 8.  Our luggage will be on the bus at Venice airport on Wednesday at 11:00. We tipped everyone and we are ready for our Venice experience.
