Our last full day in Venice started out bright and clear. Last night’s thunderstorms were pretty powerful and loud, but nobody was anything more than inconvenienced by them.
A group of students went with Gregor to Murano, the glass-blowing island for the morning. Others spent the day continuing their exploration of Venice proper.
At dinner time, we gathered at a restaurant just off of Piazza San Marco for a celebratory farewell dinner at which we honored Gregor for his hard work with some gifts and thank you notes.
After dinner, the highlight was a ride on a gondola. We filled four gondola for our twilight ride along the Canale Grande and off into the smaller canals.
